Here's an old pair I've been eyeballing. Never seen another pair like them.

Me either. My first thought was that the mule ears are replacements, but not with the white tags. Nice clean boots!

I'm real tempted! They are about 1/2 size bigger than what I now wear. I've sent an inquiry on the circumference at the calf. Expensive! Love everything about them!

They are gorgeous, the top stitching, and collars with cut outs are nice!

Very Nice! I've never seen Noconas with mule ears. They sure look to be in great shape.

Impulse offers (that are accepted) are going to get me into trouble...

Only reference I can find out there (other than another pair for sale) is a couple of advertisements in the Brownsville Herald newspaper from 1951.

Yes, I made one of those last week and never more thankful that it was rejected. Sometimes the fates protect us from ourselves and sometimes not. Nice boots in any event!

Dang!! Congrats on those Bob!! They're killer.

I'm glad they found a good home. I'd been watching them closely, but I'm still catching up after the holidays. Having 5 kids will put a hurting on the funds this time of year. They make up for it come tax time, though.

Thanks Dale! I have three kids that are 30 and 31 and they are still burning up my boot and hat funds. Just wait until you take your five grown kids to a bar!

I'll put a piece of tape with your name on it in these (in case I die with them on, then my wife will know who they should go to).

Thanks for thinking of me Bob!

Your right Bob, they never stop impacting the boot and hat budget!

Bob, cool find. I've never run across that brand in all the junk I've read through. Clean and appear well made. Love the color and contrasting piping. About all I can add is they look to be boots that come from that area of bootmakers, many very good, whose boots became referred to as "valley boots" Austin Hall and others that are known come from this area.

I have some Austin Halls but most Valley boots are made with flat arches. Rios & others come to mind. Also when buying older Mexican boots be aware that they tan leather in animal urine. Their leather is not brain tanned. It's cheaper. When they get wet you will usually know the difference.

Just ordered these for my wife. Lucchese full alligator boots.

She'll love you for it! But the present will be yours when you see her in them!

Desert Dog, you are spot on.

Wow!

So. FedEx attempted to deliver the boots today to my office. Apparently, my office was 'closed' at the time. Impossible. They tried to deliver these to the wrong address! We get deliveries here all the time. Having them held at the local office and going to pick them up myself tomorrow.

We visited a thrift store yesterday. I heard they had some boots. A few nice ones, not in my size, but I did find one pair that fit, so I brought them home. They are Justins, I have no idea what year.

Damn, Ddog I'm not much of a snake fan but those look good and nearly new. Good color. I have a hard time with putting a date on Justins. The last pair I owned was a pair of mule hides in the 70's-80's. Was away from home for awhile and my mom threw them away. Loved those boots. Still hurts.

Just going by the profile, the nice heel and the elaborate stitching, I would think no later than the 80's. Maybe others will weigh in.
