Think we are probably all talking of a similar thing, but dad always referred to the 'last' as a 'clog jack' perhaps just different local terms. His was metal with three different sizes for fit, including a heel piece. I can see him in my mind sitting like a pro, with the nails/tack type things in his mouth, at least he didn't have them inside, but between his lips.
