The leather is in great shape and in overall excellent vintage condition, but I'm a bit surprised at the somewhat steep ending price. This is one of the nicer pairs that has surfaced in quite some time, so I'm sure that contributed to the price. </div><div><center><br /></center><center><a href="http://www.vintageengineerboots.com/">www.vintageengineerboots.com</a></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Circa: 1950's<br />
Color: Black<br />
Size: 7 1/2<br />
Measurements:<br />
Length: 11 1/4"<br />Soles / Heels: O'Sullivan Half Sole and Heels<br />
Leather: Oil-Tanned Cowhide (Sorry to burst your bubble, folks -- 99% of vintage boots were NOT Horsehide) Unless boots are clearly marked with the word "Horsehide" be careful when descriptions read:<br />
- "I'm not sure, but these could be Horsehide."<div>- "Made with Horsehide"<br />
- "They feel like Horsehide" Really??<br />
- "I'm positive these are Horsehide"<br />
- "The original owner said they were Horsehide"<br />
- "Steerhide"<br />
- "Horsehide"<br />
Hardware: Brass<br />
Sold For: $125 Buy it Now<br /><br />It's clear these aren't in the best condition, but at $125 plus repair costs (resole, patching) they're worth the time. Don't fall for overpriced repair costs -- There are plenty of talented folks out there charging the appropriate amount. When all is said and done, they should end up costing Way under four bills. </div><div><br /></div><div>*These could absolutely be worn as is. <br /><br /><div><center><a href="http://www.vintageengineerboots.com/">www.vintageengineerboots.com</a></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Aside from the the flattened toe box, there's truly nothing to write home about. And it's worth noting that unless these are a half size larger than the buyer's foot size, the toe box will more than likely lose its profile making them just an expensive pair of 1960's Vintage Engineer Boots. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'd sooner drop some hard-earned scratch on a pair of modern heritage boots.

Since the leather is treated (protected) at the tannery, conditioner in this type of application serves only to add a deeper color tone — the hide will be fine even after prolonged exposure to the rays when tanning. </center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">• Put it out under the sun whenever you’re not wearing it.</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">• The leather WILL attract water and leave (harmless) spots. Resist wiping down certain areas. If you get food spots like me, use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the entire jacket, to include seams, creases and folds. Let air dry. The leather will darken following each wipe down session.</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">• Ready to condition? My personal favorite it Pecard Antique Leather Conditioner (you “might can” — my English teacher used to say that — use other products, but since I can’t guarantee the same killer level of outcome). No need for a rag. I get the best results using just my hand (see mg Instagram post here for the video).</center><center><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CV1pZ8vFJDR/" style="margin-left: 1em;

Brand: Montgomery Ward<br />
Circa: 1940s / 1950s<br />
Color: Black<br />
Size: "10"<br />Soles: Leather with composition half sole<br />
Leather: Oil Tanned Cowhide (not horsehide)<br />
Hardware: Nickel<br />
Sold For: $400 BIN<br />
Seller: wfaa8<div><br /></div><div>Montgomery Ward led the charge in the mail order business beginning in 1872 (pre-Sears catalog) and became one of the biggest national mail order and brick and mortar retailers, so it's safe to say that goods sold by Wards were quite abundant -- I've seen midcentury Wards boots pop up at auction with missing/worn tags, so they're more prevelant than we might know.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'd say the $400 ending price tag on them is spot on. On a good day, I might be compelled to pay about six bills for them -- anything more than that, then we're talking about modern heritage boot territory.</div><div><br />

It was on this very day, 26 years ago, I was on a charter bus with a group of other Recruiting Station Los Angeles “Poolees” (Recruiting Sub-Station Pasadena for me) headed south on Interstate 5 to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego with hopes of earning the title, “Marine.”<br /><br />
Now after a total of 11 duty assignments, unmatched training spanning the globe and three combat deployments, I am preparing for what may well be my last duty assignment that will take me into my 30 years of maximum allowable service. <br /><br />

These are the classic-style Engineer Boots currently on the market that captured my attention this past year. Anyone looking for a pair of amazing Engineer Boots that are built extremely well and age to perfection can rest assured they will not regret choosing either one of these models from two highly reputable names in the biz. These aren't entry-level boots. These are boots will stand the test of time and are not egregiously overpriced.<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.vintageengineerboots.com/">www.vintageengineerboots.com</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3lnPgTNODKM/X-6hGKS8wyI/AAAAAAAAVag/7xcosnRQm2AT-GDzTYLp4w3gfPW4zVMcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1242/IMG_7463.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1231" data-original-width="1242" height="317" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3lnPgTNODKM/X-6hGKS8wyI/AAAAAAAAVag/7xcosnRQm2AT-GDzTYLp4w3gfPW4zVMcwCLcBGAsYHQ/w320-h317/IMG_7463.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Source: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/swing_up315/" target="_blank">Swing-Up</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Dapper’s boots have been available for some time, but I found myself liking them more and more every time they popped up on my feed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Brand: Dapper's<br />Model: Lot. 1142<br />Circa: 1940s Style<br />Color: Natural<br />Size/Width: 7.5 - 10 / D<br />Leather: 3mm European Horsebutt<br />Hardware: Brass<br />Price: ¥89,000 ($862.00)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dappers_2007/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="568" data-original-width="491" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EPzIiVYf6bg/X-6hGArJN6I/AAAAAAAAVac/VzKQfHgNPjcObIIK7O9UnFGX_EHq1pV_gCLcBGAsYHQ/w277-h320/IMG_7464.jpg" width="277" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Source: <a href="https://dappers.jp/footwear/40s-style-engineer-boots/" target="_blank">Dapper's</a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">The fact that the Keystone Engineer Boots come out of the Fukurokuju camp along with the super attractive profile and unbeatable, realistic pricing puts them at the top of my list.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9e76FHlezkI/X-6k4HFCAzI/AAAAAAAAVbE/sPA1XHZmy8QAyhHSXUIy7xeeB8CwGXp_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s565/DSC2003-650x650.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="532" data-original-width="565" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9e76FHlezkI/X-6k4HFCAzI/AAAAAAAAVbE/sPA1XHZmy8QAyhHSXUIy7xeeB8CwGXp_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/DSC2003-650x650.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Source: <a href="http://keystone-shoe-co.com/" target="_blank">Keystone Shoe Co.</a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div>Brand: Keystone Shoe Co. </div><div>Colors: Nice Brown x Black, Black , Dark Brown, Brown <br />Sizes: 5 - 12 D or E <br />Leather: Horween, Roughout<br />Insole: Flexible <br />Leather Insole <br />Hardware: Nickle <br />Price: ¥ 58,000 ($552.00) <br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fXcV7ZxuOCs/X-6kPmoNrQI/AAAAAAAAVaw/8lMznqkwPU4Z7a6k5uJ3zAWHUf89QCxagCLcBGAsYHQ/s726/2002140011-650x726.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="726" data-original-width="650" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fXcV7ZxuOCs/X-6kPmoNrQI/AAAAAAAAVaw/8lMznqkwPU4Z7a6k5uJ3zAWHUf89QCxagCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/2002140011-650x726.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Source: <a href="http://keystone-shoe-co.com/blog/" target="_blank">Keystone Shoe Co.</a></div>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18376021547727135780noreply@blogger.com0
