Description

Sammy’s custom Gucci tap shoes

The shoes were most likely used for practice or just for laughs. In fine condition, with expected wear and scuffing to soles from use. Davis was an extremely talented tap dancer for most of his life, beginning at the age of seven when he made his movie debut in the 1933 comedy short Rufus Jones for President. RR Auction COA.
