Me too! They're an inexpensive eBay purchase. I'll keep my fingers crossed. They're the Sturgis model. I 'm not crazy about the zipper on the back but I like the overall pattern alot. My interest was piqued when I saw a similar (sans zipper) pair of Russells from the 1950's fetch over $650 about a month ago.
Generally I stick with Red Wing moc-toed boots, tho when I find deadstock or lightly worn older work boots I'll pick 'em up if affordable. I've been wearing a pair of 1950's Knapps for a couple years that are probably the most comfortable boots I've owned yet. I also have a pair of 1940's high-lacing Bass gum-soles that I like plenty much as well. A pair of Wesco "Boss" boots are next on my hit list. I really like Shamus' brown ones so I'm bracing myself to hunker down and pay the full price for a custom pair ((((shudder)))).
