Antique Boot Jacks

Cisco’s Gallery offers a collection of antique boot jacks dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Designed to help remove boots without bending or pulling them by hand, boot jacks were made in wood, cast iron and other durable materials. The collection includes traditional utilitarian forms as well as figural and novelty examples, including the well-known risqué “Naughty Nellie” form associated with late 19th- and early 20th-century cast-iron boot jacks.
