Antique Child's Medical Leg Brace

Just added to Pandora's Parlor, this amazing antique child's medical leg brace with both shoes.  One shoe is attached and the other is a built up shoe used for when one leg was shorter than the other.
This is a very hard to find piece and a great display piece for all of you Mad Scientists!
The patina on this piece is really great, very old and worn.
 
You can find this Forrest Gump style fashion statement and other odddities here on my website.

I wonder of the ridicule this poor child lived with growing up...but what a cool artifact.

I wore one just like that except for the other leg. Would love to have one again.
