Fellow HISTARCHers,
I have been asked to try to quickly (within the next 20 minutes) find a
date when steel-toed boots began to be manufactured. So far my quick
Google search has not come up with anything but modern boot sales.
Does anyone happen to know when steel-toed boots hit the market?
As a bit of background, apparently a high school class from the towns of
Perry & Lecompton in NE Kansas found a child-sized steel-toed boot no a
sand bar in the Kansas River. They want to know (approximately) how old
it is. Unfortunately, the best person locally to answer this question
is off-work with a medical issue.
Can anyone help, or do we need to admit to not knowing?
Marsha
