Antique Cast Iron Brass Boot Jack Beetle Table Decor Doorstop Rustic Design

antique cast iron boot jack, often designed in the shape of a beetle or other animals like a cricket. Purpose: It's a tool used to help remove boots, especially tall or tight-fitting ones, without needing to bend down or use hands. How it works: You place the heel of one boot into the "V" shaped opening (often between the antennae in beetle designs) and use the other foot to step on the body of the boot jack for leverage, then pull your foot out of the boot. Material and Design: These boot jacks are typically made of cast iron and are often decorative, serving as both a functional tool and a rustic accent piece or doorstop. All items are sold as described and unless otherwise stated, are antique, vintage, and preowned and not in new condition. They may need minor cleaning or polishing by the buyer.
