Shoe lasts as book ends

I saw some 'antigue' shoe lasts on a web site for $99, with the suggestions that they be used as book ends.

The shoe lasts

As a book end

I remembered that I saved Dad's shoe lasts from the house at Coomera as a momento. He bought them to Australia from Boston in 1946. I found them polished them up and now have my own antique book ends - no cost.
