Watch back is a match to the watch i found a few weeks ago ...

Thank you,
Any idea what that Dr Scholls plate was used for.
i just threw it in the junk pile, but it would be interesting to know what it was if anyone knows. ...
i agree Ed, got lucky finding the watch back, found the watch a couple weeks ago.
now its a bit more complete ... Yes
These pieces didnt make the first photo shoot for the day.
but i also pulled up a 40-50 lb sledge hammer head.
and another Iron Iron for Ironing .
toting an extra 50 lbs of iron 2 miles out the woods was no fun, but i kinda like the
sledge head, it will go good with the Ax heads, Pick Ax head, wood splitting mauls, plantation hoes, and other larger iron tools i have pulled up recently ...

I think you are right PBW. the Dr Schols brass plate appears to be the bottom portion to a shoe or boot insert ...
here is the closest match i can find ..

Check out this one I just found. http://m.ebay.com/itm/321626408527

i think you are right on the foot support though .
