Those boots were pretty tiny....6 1/2? This pair went for practically the same...size 7 1/2:

They're all pretty tiny!

I remember back in the early 90's when I worked at a close out store---the owner would buy up the inventory of out of business stores from around the country-- there were just TONS of deadstock work boots from every era it seemed. Cork soles, the whole 9 yards.
I'm sure in the 80's you could have bought all of the work boots, workwear, etc. that you wanted for next to nothing.....
The mid 1980s ... those were the days.
Back then, a British guy I know found an entire pallet of deadstock 1930s Levi's dungarees in the cellar of a house in East Berlin. Dozens and dozens of jeans. They were originally from a U.S. Army PX after WWII, back when Berlin had an "American Zone". When the PX closed, a nice German family got the pallet, packed it in their cellar, and left it there -- occasionally taking out a pair of jeans to wear, or to sell on the East Berlin black market.
My British acquaintance ended up buying the dozens of remaining Levi's from the German family; he smuggled them out of East Berlin in a truck filled with potatoes. With the money he made from selling those jeans to Europeans and Japanese, he bought a HOUSE.
Brilliant photo!!
