- Wooden Mallet, 1880-1920 - Late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century shoemakers turned pieces of leather into footwear.

Their tools included a variety of knives, hammers, punches, clamps, awls, and polishers and burnishers. Though these tools seem highly specialized, shoemakers were always adapting, using whatever tools were at hand to make shoes.
