Vintage leather baby shoes, little boy 'grown up' shoes, black w/ buckles

40s 50s vintage 'grown up shoes' for a small boy. These aren't in perfect condition, so must have been a special memory, saved away for over 50 years!

Marked size is 10 1/2 A, the shoes measure 7 3/4" long along the outside sole. One shoe is missing the metal buckle, and the box is worn, missing the lid.
