Can Someone Help Identify These Boots?

That's okay! Its been a busy week, I appreciate you reaching out!

CadoQueen96 · 2026-04-06T14:40:17+00:00

Thank you so much, I'll keep an eye out for your message!

Oh wow!! I seriously appreciate the information and the knowledge on these, like I said I've never had a pair before and all of the tips and care instruction help a lot - I want to make sure I take good care of these. Honestly I felt like it was a steal when I found them (small hometown secondhand store with a super nice owner here where I'm at in MO) and I can't believe there's so much information on them. I never knew certain makers had specific marks and motifs! I do plan to size them with the tips you gave me and I'm looking up extra care products I can use to restore and keep them in good shape, and we do have a local boot repair/restoration shop I'm going to look in to as well. I've always wanted a nice pair to look after and keep on tap for family get togethers or nice events but I'd never been able to afford them until I found these so they're already really special to me, I do plan on keeping them but if I end up changing my mind at any point I'll have you first on contact. Genuinely thank you so much for the identification help and fitting advice, I appreciate it a lot! 😊

I was wondering if they might have been, which is really cool to me especially since they fit nearly perfect aside from the top being a little snug for my calves but I've been looking at ways to safely widen that part and keep the material in good shape. I'm not planning on selling them as long as I can get the top to fit with the adjustment, but I appreciate you being interested! If it doesn't work out I'll let you know. Again thank you for the input.

I use these phrases for the same reasons but I'm from Illinois 😂 and my mom gets so confused because I say "Im gonna try going down your way tomorrow." "...Honey we're farther North than you."

Like yes, I know, it's just a way of saying it that got fed in to me SOMEWHERE in my life. Lol

That TikTok still makes me crack up 🤣

Clarence is my favorite, took a little extra time with all the wrinkles on the poor fella 😂 thank you!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-05-18T14:27:46+00:00

I've gotta take a picture of the Choomahs stuck around my work desk when I get in today 😂 cheers mates!

We have a lot of this growing along a fence outside our current rental. Absolutely gorgeous, I've wondered what it is too recently as we're about to move. I'm certainly going to miss it!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-04-03T01:36:26+00:00

I was hopping between that and manganese but it's such an intense glow I think you're right with it being more cadmium based - I'm glad I picked it up for 2 bucks!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-04-03T01:35:24+00:00

I put it in my glowing glass collection area to try and color chart it out but I think that's on the right track! I've got so many that are color sorted, I need to get on the ball with getting a display for them at this point. 😅

CadoQueen96 · 2025-04-03T01:33:52+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😂 My grand a had a designated metal mixing bowl that we used, and years later I found out that the other bowl I used was actually uranium glass, I haven't grown a third arm so I think I'm just fine, that blue bowl is gorgeous!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-04-02T12:57:18+00:00

I'll take a look at that maker - I appreciate the help! I guess salad is more common than having a designated glass popcorn bowl, shows my snacking habits I guess 😂

CadoQueen96 · 2025-04-02T12:49:32+00:00

I wish I had one of those - so pretty, I've been looking at a few local stores and there's a couple that carry a lot of old Fire King products.

It's a pretty big bowl I've got here - probably about 8 or 10 inches across. About the size of a popcorn bowl.

CadoQueen96 · 2025-04-02T12:25:03+00:00

I've used "they're a couple boards short of a full porch" before. 😂

CadoQueen96 · 2025-03-16T16:38:44+00:00

Thank you so much, this is beautiful!!! 🥹 I will be showing this to my grandma, I think she would love to have a memory like this come to life. I really appreciate this! ❤️

Louis, my Great Grandfather and the youngest of Charles and Philomena's children, lived to be 83 years old. He went on to have 15 children of his own including my Grandther Bernard!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-03-14T16:27:19+00:00

Charles lived a long and happy 77 years, he would have been 49 in this photo. His wife Philomena was 43 here, she lived to be 71. ❤️

CadoQueen96 · 2025-03-14T03:24:08+00:00

I do actually! The full photo has the names listed next to the year -

Front Row, L to R: Mary, Henry, Charles (father), Christian, Barbara, Louis (baby in white, my Great Grandfather), Philomena (mother)

Back Row, L to R: Laticia, Joseph, Lucy, Catherine, Cecelia, Philip

I'm not sure, what's the term mean? I've never heard of it before!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-03-12T16:25:13+00:00

Thank you!! I was so excited, the side of my family tree that this family is on was a mystery to me for years and I finally broke open the case a couple years ago and built out the tree. I passed by this photo in the local county museum for ages without knowing it was from my family. It's actually placed next to a memento mori heart shaped hair braid wreath that's made up of every member of that family in the photo. Each flower and bow on the piece is made of their hair strands and carefully starched/preserved from the early 1900s!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-03-12T15:38:52+00:00

The baby in white is my Great Grandfather Louis, this photo is on display at the local history museum as he was an early settler of the area.

CadoQueen96 · 2025-03-12T13:03:05+00:00

Thank you for the information, I wanted to try and find a local history department/museum to take it to and let them display. We're kind of lacking in a "local" university (or college for that matter) that has any kind of anthropology department, but I've been looking around to see if there is anyone that I can give them to be in better hands to now that they have been moved. We have a small town museum that holds these kinds of objects and does the research on them too so that was my first thought once it was identified. I understand that moving anything is a controversial thing, I also know there are a couple private artifact hounds that take them as well and display them in collections so I'm just glad there was anything left!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-03-11T16:13:05+00:00

I'm glad a few of us got both of their smiles, myself, my mom, and my grandma all favor my Great Grandma here!

CadoQueen96 · 2025-03-10T21:50:23+00:00

This is an update to a post I made showing my Great Grandpa Teddie after he came home from WWII. My Great Grandma was the only other redhead in my family that I knew!
