Description: Being new to shoe collecting, my go to resource for vintage and collectible shoes is the Classic Shoes For Men Website. This is what it has to say about a similar shoe: "Hanover, like Florsheim, Cordwainer, Nunn-Bush and others, produced more than one price and quality level of product, in some cases even taking orders for custom shoes, extremely desirable rarities today. This pair, from their top “L. B. Sheppard Signature Series”. . . appears to be on that custom level, Goodyear welted (of course) and with additional 360 degree Storm Welt (Split Reverse Welt). This is a marvelous classic model in the old tradition of workmanship, a handsome and extremely durable shoe, equal to the great Florsheim Imperials and superior, in my view, to the contemporary Alden or Allen Edmonds cordovans of today." https://classicshoesformen.com/the-collection/neuwertig-hanover-u-s-a-blucher-derby-circa-1980-44e/. These shoes are likewise from the L.B. Sheppard Signature Series and are in excellent condition. The uppers are pristine and the original double soles and heels show minimal wear. Overall, this a handsome and collectible piece of Americana. A nice set of Extra Large Hanover cedar shoe trees (see last two photos) will be included in the purchase (approximately, a $20 value). A Hanover Catalogue from 1970 can be found here: https://vcleat.com/hanover-1970-catalog/.
