Description:
Original antique 1860 - 70s Cowboy Boots. These boots are the early classic one piece arch front with two to piece front and one piece back as seen on the first cattle drives after the war of northern aggression. They wrinkle at the angle as they were made by stretching them over a form rather than making them in two pieces as was done in later years. This pair of boots came out of a private collection. The sole is stitched on the edge and glued in the inside of the sole. These boot soles were both glued and stitched. Cowboys preferred glue/stitched for comfort in the stirrup. Pegs were most common for sodbusters and infantry due to harder wear when afoot. Note the square nails to fasten on the heal.
Anything sodbuster used was looked on with disdain by cowboys.
The heel is of stacked leather in the Cuban shape and nailed together with small square nails in a pattern to protect from wear. This pair of boots are the real deal. They are in remarkable condition, very soft and pliable. To find a pair in this condition is rare as most were completely used up. The stitching is remarkably delicate, with all stitches intact and no rips or tears save for a very small nick on the top of the right boot. The soles show very light wear and no abuse. Likely worn for dress. Both the uppers and foot are soft and pliable with cloth striped webbing pulls sewn on the inside of the uppers. These boots could be polished up to improve their display if you want, but I think they looked great just as they are. Toes are just a bit more rounded as compared with military boots. I have left the original boot trees stuffed the boots, they are also more of a rare find that the boots themselves. These antique boots are hard to find in good condition. These would fill a gap in any military or Old West collection. Other items show are not included.
