Neilsen family
N.C. Neilsen - I recently purchased a wooden shoe makers tool on E-bay. Around this wooden shoe makers tool was a piece of paper. The paper was taped to the handle. On the piece of paper was typed "N.C. Neilsen wooden shoe maker Boyd, Wisconsin."
It is very possible that this wooden shoe makers tool had been donated to a museum at one time. Occasionally museums will sell various items to suppliment revenues and/or make room for other items. I purchased this tool to use as part of a display of wooden shoe makers tools and to use in giving wooden shoe making demonstrations. I am looking for information on N.C.Neilsen and his family ,as well as seeing if he may have come from a family who may have passed this trade on to him. I will gladly return any information reguarding the wooden shoe makers tool that I purchased and information about the wooden shoe making trade.
