Bo Riddle's FaceBook page shows an Arcadia, MO address, but the page is a bit stale.
Did you know he once made boots in Birmingham?

The grain on the hippos is so deep, even with a close up, the wrinkles are hardly discernible and the toe bug is all but invisible. I posted a comparison pic to show some grain difference. L-R is elephant ear, elephant and the hippo. The elephant ear grain didn't show up well, it is relatively smooth with a small pebble texture.Those hippos are nice! That grain's got some sure enough character, and I'm impressed they put a toe bug and wrinkles on them. Very nice touch.
Dale, there have been several revivals over the years. Local Henrietta businessmen bought the rights to the name after the original closing and several times it came back to life. Prior to Hilton and Riddle it was in operation marketing the Mexican brand Montana Boots alongside O-S out of the same building. O-S is back in operation and the have a website but I don't know who is running it.Also I did not know Riddle had been involved in the resurrection attempt of Olsen-Stelzer.
I remember the pee wee card boots featured in Tyler Beard's boot book....
It's ended up being the most expensive book I've ever purchased.
