    Description

    These are the riding boots of
    Ann Bonfoey Taylor (aka Mrs. Vernon F. Taylor, Jr.)
    The Taylors were well to do residents of the Denver Colorado area.  Their home is currently for sale at the bargain price of .7M
    The boot trees are approximately 9.75 inches from heel to toe.  They are in excellent condition.  Maxwell London is a high quality custom boot manufacturer, started in 1750.
    The boots are slightly larger than the boot trees, and may be newer.  The leather is still in good condition.
    Petrie is a very well regarded riding boot manufacturer. The soles are Prialpas Gomma.
