A pair of Gene Autry's cowboy boots, made by Lucchese, given to Willie Nelson by Autry's widow. Nelson is a huge Autry fan. Nelson donated the boots along with other artifacts to the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at U T Austin.

It's pretty easy to see the level this boot maker is at. Those are amazing.

Me too. If those boots were mine I would be tempted to save the tops by having new vamps made, knowing full-well it's cheaper & easier to just make a new pair.

I know what you mean but Those are great butterflies. I've got a pair of Griffith-Blucher boots in elephant ear that are so worn the boots would need to be rebuilt from the shaft down but the shafts show practically no wear and the stitching is some of my favorite. Still, about the same as having a new pair made.
