      In 1902 a lot of wooden shoes or clogs were made at home by farmers, because leather shoes were too expensive. Maybe one of those people signed the shoe, but I think that would be unusual, because it wasn’t considered a work of art.
      Maybe somebody else wrote on the shoe.

      Right person for answer is Cameron Kippen, Curtin Universty of Technology, Perth WA
      The German, Klomp, and the Dutch, clog were made from a single block of wood!
