My sister and I were just at my dad's this past weekend. My mom has been gone for about 2 1/2 years and this weekend, he finally gave us her "good" jewelry. However, my mom always wore jewelry and had a ton of costume stuff. In addition to the drawer full, the wall necklace hanger, she had one of these cabinets full of costume jewelry. We started digging and looking, but it was too overwhelming.

These are called shoe trees..... used in the shoes to store so the leather was kept in shape....

Love the cabinet!!!!! I agree with all the others these are shoe stretchers. My grandma had a few of these and also some that resembled these that were used for her snow/rain galoches. (spelling terrible today.)
