Description
A tangle of brown cord, waxed. These heavy threads would have been used in hand stitching Old Maine Trotters shoes at Old Town Shoe, a shoemaking workshop run by Penobscot Shoe Company until its closure in the 1960s. Old Town Shoe was located in what is now River House on Main Street. The Trotters Brand was acquired with the sale of Penobscot Shoe Company to the Phoenix Footwear Group in 2000.
