19th C. Red Shoe Lacquered Papier Mache Snuff Box public school he is very full ofI've bought and sold a few lacquered papier mache snuff boxes, shoe shaped and otherwise, but I've never seen a red one, with a heel to boot, making one think of Dorothy clicking her heels to get back home.

I believe.
