CHIPPEWA ENGINEER BOOTS - PT83

Red Wing 2268's can be dated using their tags and ANSI markings.  Just the same, one can determine the approximate age of their non-RW Engineer Boots that possess similar markings. 

These nicely resoled Chippewas with #705 Vibram composite half-soles and Quabaug heels are marked PT83, which were made from made from 1983 through 1991.  Based on the logo, these would be circa early 1980's.
