I wonder if these boots from 1934-35 are the model for my Wolverines....

Above are found in the 1934-35 Montgomery Ward Fall & Winter catalog.



Above Wolverine 1000 mile boots are found in my closet. Close match, no?

They are very similar, except for some details (mainly tones). Both look good, especially yours, as it is really seen in the photo.

Also, is your forum name inspired by the Gianni Garko Sartana western movies?

Ah! So you know Gianni Garko and the Sartana movies. Impressive. Yes, I am a big time Italian Western fan. Good call!

I've always liked the look of that Wolverine boot, but for $2.39, I'd go with the original.

$2.39 (the price of the shoes in 1934) is worth $42.56 in today's dollars. Guess the price of these shoes have been hit by more than inflation.......
