These vintage boots were made in the 1920s or 1930s. They are a men’s size 7, and are a tall lace up field boot style. This style was popular with hunters and workmen during this period. They have 18 eyelets, and are a rare wingtip style. They have roamer brand rubber soles, long since cracked, and Ritz brand heels. The leather has been conditioned and while it does show wear, is still supple. The soles will definitely need to be replaced if these are to be worn. They measure 11-1/4″ heel to toe (outsole).

ots were handmade in India by KM. They have a wonderful brown leather which has acquired a nice patina. Leather soles, rubber heels. They are small in the calves.

16″ lace up wingtip boots from the 1930s, a brown leather motorcycle jacket from the ’50s or so, Pall Mall cigarettes with a 1949 tax stamp, a made in Japan “Sabre” knife, vintage bandanna, belt and a silver and turquoise ring. Not a lot of brown leather going in motorcycle gear these days.
I found this one at a Maryland Hospital charity shop for not too much. I don’t find too many hats at thrift shops. Suits, jackets, coats, yes, but hardly ever hats.
This is a pretty standard stingy brim, but since it’s a Cavanagh, its quality is top notch.

Pre-Longwing Gunboats. Canadian made by John McHale in the 1940s or 1950s. Enormous, heavy soles. Flush captoe. I can’t imagine what you could do to these shoes that they couldn’t take.
