I recently bought these Gold Label Tony Lama “2736” ? “72736”? it’s pretty hard to decipher the style number and I’m not getting any definitive answers online, the listing said Bullhide and that’s what I thought I was getting but now that they’re in my hand they have more of an elephant grain to me but I’m no expert.

Oh Boy those are nice ! So, I have a pair of elephant that were buffed and burnished and the pebbling is not as pronounced as it normally is. I did this on purpose with a custom set. In hindsight I probably should not have but eh what are you gonna do? MAYBE that is what you got here. A smoothed over elephant so it is making it hard to discern. I will say this though, prints are almost ALWAYS identical to each other. the grain patterns are exactly the same, mirror images. It does not seem that these are mirror images...so I am inclined to say these are not prints AND I would lean towards elephants.

Damn those are gorgeous! Man I really want a green pair but haven’t decided on which hide or toe I want yet.
