Struggling to ID these wooden shoe trees online

    Vintage wooden shoe trees. They break into three pieces per shoe. Can’t find any information on them. Not bothered by value as I know not worth much but I love finding out the history of things.

    No markings other than XLX and XRX for left and right.

    Anyone seen some before who can steer me in the right direction please? Thanks!

    Maybe a shoemaker's last rather than shoe trees?
