Cowboy Boots

[Tilli]

Found these ACME boots on the bay and couldn‘t resist their tops. Pretty good condition and good fit. Presumably these are from the 1950/1960s. If anybody can fill me in on more details or history please feel free

Nice find! Great looking inlays on those. I'd say 50s, for sure.

My most recent boot acquisition is a pair of Tony Lama birds in a nice black cherry. The photos don't quite do them justice. The style # appears to be B 3412. I can't find any info on them but I like them regardless. Maybe someone here can help.

Some new to me Tony Lama’s. $40 on fleabay and looked pretty rough. Some saddle soap, Bick 4, and a neutral cream polish and these babies are right as rain! Also donning a vintage Resistol Herdsman.

Thank you! I wish I had taken before pics. Maybe I’ll edit my post to show the seller’s pics.

For B&W I always come around to thinking about those Olds Rocket 88 boots.

I know the ones you're talking about. Those are about as an impressive example as a person could ask for.

Thank you! Underneath all the dirt, grime, and dust; they were in fantastic shape. Another seller has the exact same boots; same style# and he is asking 129. I feel like I got a bargain.

The TL smooth quills on the feet. Don’t mind the dirty truck. There’s a German Shepherd Dog that likes to go for

rides. I’ll clean it this weekend….maybe….

Some TL sharks for Saturday matched up with a vintage late 40’s to early 50’s Stetson Open Road with a front pinch fedora shape.

I recently got these from Osuna, found out about him through you guys. Great to work with, and I’m very happy the way these turned out. The hippo hide is really difficult to capture on film, it’s such an unusual hide.

Very nice! I like that spur shelf. Never had hippos or a spur shelf boot.

I like your user name too. The late Merle Haggard said, hey, leather boots are still in style for manly footwear.

Osuna lines of the boot & their top stitching are among the best. Congratulations.

That’s a much finer texture than my off-the-shelf sharks! Beautiful boots, there!
