I hadn't seen one either until just this week. When I saw it, I knew I had to find one. Must be pretty scarce though.

"The Nebraskan" by Resistol. This isn't my hat but I wanted to add it to the list. Since Nebraska is my home state I would love to have one in 7 1/4 or 7 3/8 should anyone see one, I would appreciate hearing from you. They were made for the Nebraska Centennial in 1967.

Wow, very nice goal to find one. Only sold in NE for the Centennial, I wonder how many are out there? No Byer-Rolnick markings either.

Very cool, Scott. That would be a great find. Of course, you'll need a pair of these to go with it.

Where in Illinois, Mark? I've lived in Chicago so long, I feel like I'm from Illinois myself

Wow, those are nice!! State Capital, state bird the meadowlark, state flower goldenrod, and state flag all on the boots. Very cool. Yep I could wear those.

I don't know. I didn't know this existed until this week when I saw it on ebay. I considered bidding on it, but didn't want to get into a bidding war for a hat that isn't my size. I am of course now having second thoughts.........probably should have bid on it. May not see another.

I bet there aren't many.

Wow. Wonder if there's a Florida pair?

Guess I won't be buying these anytime soon.

Well......unlike me....You were being practical. Not everyone wants a bunch of stuff they cannot or do not use sitting around to just look at. Yep, I have a LOT of CRA.....er.....STUFF, just sitting around. One more item, does not usually catch the eye of my wife.......

You made me look....and there is an Illinois pair too......of course for that much money I MAY just wish to wait until I move out to Kentucky! And get a pair then.....but then I would not enjoy even those as my wife WOULD kill me.

Well, that's the rub. I have farm toys from when I was a kid and new ones. Firearms I haven't shot. Knives that set in a cabinet. All gathering dust.......so why didn't I bid on the hat? LOL

Perry, in the late 40's ACME Boots commissioned Lucchese to build a boot for all the states to be used in a nationwide ad campaign. It took two years or so for the design and construction of the boots. Through theft and loss, only 10 or 12 pair are known to remain.

I have never seen a FL pair but they are available. See below.
