Cowboy Boots

[Hurricane Jack]

Been Looking at it since you posted it and I don't see it either. Quite the pair of boots. 20% tax. Damn!

I always thought the $300 price tag was due to the silver caps but I don't know. This was post war late 1940's. Maybe there was still a tax on precious metals? Ever see any such listing from Bohlin during that time?

Not that I recall.

Take a look at what used to be available in a factory boot. I really need to stay away from the bay.

Here's a pair from the Hyer catalog I've tried to figure out for a long time. I just can't see the leaf pattern from the description. What I see makes me think of animal tusks. I have studied the illustration & played with enlarging it but that's all I see.

I see the tusks, but also the leaf. You have to look at the whole cutout, the red or brown part, and it's vaguely a leaf shape. A leaf shape with some elephant tusks on it. Maybe it was for Bama fans.

Yeah, that's it. I like your thinking, cuz. Actually, the only school related boots I've ever seen from Hyer are these Jayhawk boots. Now you've got me going back studying the boots looking for the leaf.

Still can't see it but I'll keep trying.

Hyer also offered two versions of a tooled top boot. Would like to see the version with the stained background.

I guess sometimes you just have to make the same offer more than once!

@AbbaDatDeHat, Good looking boots, B. I especially like the color and stitching on the stingrays. Here's you something in the "fowl" family to be on the lookout for. Some Gallapava boots, though I prefer ostrich.

 

[AbbaDatDeHat]

Thanks Joao. Still haven’t seen a No.1 in your size. Just little ones.

Lots of lil' ones.

Don't know if I could wear turkey boots, I might be tempted to chew on them. Way to much temptation for my dogs!
