One of the oldest exhibits is the postillion's boot heavily reinforced to give protection whilst guiding the carriage horses by riding on one of the leading pair. The various long handled knives used in clog making, also a clog makers last hammer. A most useful piece of equipment was the cobblers snobbing bag shaped like an apron with capacious pocket for holding tools. The term snob was frequently applied to the Cobbler.
