Boots004 – Very early dark brown, presumably Texas cowboy boots, 17” tall with 2” Cuban style heel, one piece front last, some stitching on rear portion of boot with square toe. Construction indicates boots were made for heavy use. Brass hobnails on bottom of sole have star design, see photo. Lining is light beige color kid leather with cloth pulls. Overall condition very good with a couple small holes on rear seam of one boot, some slight cracking. Very colorful and would make a great early cowboy display. Size; medium.

Price; $2000.00

Note Star design in the hob nail pattern on the sole.

Boots005 – Very rare combination of a Confederate and a Union Civil war boot, making a striking pair! This pair came from a Mississippi Confederate veteran’s family. One boot is a typically Confederate, crudely made heavy duty boot of light brown leather, 17 ½” tall at the front peak that has an added scallop trim design. Heel is typical civil war flat heel, edged with metal reinforcing edging. Heavily stitched, reinforced sole with square toes. Confederate boots are extremely rare and this one is in excellent condition for that period boot. Along with this Confederate boot, was found a Federal-made Civil War era boot with square toe, reinforced sole, 16” tall with one piece front last, and small 1” Cuban type heel. Boot also has a slightly raised wine colored leather inset along the top as well as wine colored lining inside. The story is, that this Confederate soldier, hurting for footwear as they always were, had worn this mismatched combination of boots during the last days of the Confederacy and was found in his personal effects in the 1970s. This pair has been in my collection ever since that finding. Size; medium.
