Sifting through the evidence files I found this pair of heels and just have to show them to you. These shoes ring all the bells for design, quality and style that is possible. But, the neatest clue from my perspective is where they were sold. Chandlers shoes were a part of a larger company which which had originated in St. Louis, MO and also owned other vintage brands we would recognize, e.g. Baker’s shoes. However, Chandlers products were considered to be the elite by many women.

In the late 1990’s this company or many of its holdings went bankrupt. Ladies all over the U.S., I’m sure, were heartbroken as they’d depended on Chandlers for fine fashionable footwear since the 1920’s. C’est la vie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
