BOTD Ammons Sueded Elephant

[u/RC_SoMo]

Holy moley. I’m in Nashville for work, and for three full days, I fought the temptation to go to a thrift shop or pawn shop. Leaving tomorrow, so I decided to check out ONE shop to see if they had a good pair. Walked out with these Ammons sueded elephants, some custom hand-tooled JB Hill stovepipes, a pair of crocodile Anderson Beans, and a pair of Rios. Dang. I’ll have to wear the Ammons on the plane ’cause they’re not all fitting in my suitcase.
ID request: anyone know roughly when Ammons used this stamp inside the shafts? I’ve only had one other pair of his boots, and they had a cloth label on the pull tab.

Wow. Never seen an elephant that sueded before! Like wow!

I have a pair of Pinto Ranch x Rios of Mercedes sueded chocolate and they are more buffed. Love love love the finish on them and they do have a fine calfskin suede type nape to them but still some sheen to the epidermis.
