At the top of the shoe sits a child's wooden sock, 

which was stuffed into the shoe opening revealing the coin slot

to drop your money into. 

Originally the carved sock top was pinned in place so it couldn't come off, however

through the years the pins were removed so the top now lifts off.

The heel of the shoe is constructed so that you can remove a wooden pin 

to release the heel and reveal the open shoe compartment.  

Originally this was the only way to retrieve the money.

(see photos 15 & 16)

The craftsmanship leaves little to the imagination

The detailed of the sock at the open shoe, the laces are untied, the entire shoe

shows that it was worn.  The sole shows lots of wear

with some of the nails missing.  This is a wonderfully detailed child's worn out shoe.
