They’re Vintage Baby Shoelace Keepers with Bells
Baby and toddler vintage shoe lace keepers with bells. Dates from late 1950s to mid 1960s. After tying your little person’s shoes you had leftover shoestrings and you tucked them into the little barrel of this contraption and screwed the lid back on and those shoestrings were tied and wouldn’t trip your baby going off to do what they did. Now, back in the olden days we put leather little high-top shoes, usually white in color (see pictures below) on the toddlers and this was the look we had.
A rare and highly collectible piece of vintage baby accessories nostalgia.
