THE WORD ‘RARE’ CAN BE OVER USED AND AT TIMES MAY OVERSTATE THE SITUATION. EXTREMELY UNCOMMON WILL DRAW THE PROPER CONCLUSION. UMICO SHOE ARE ALWAYS FUN FIND.  THIS DISPLAY ILLUSTRATES THE OLD FASHION DESIGN, OFTEN TERMED ‘ROUNDS’. THERE IS ONE ‘UMICO’ MODEL THAT IS NOT DISPLAYED. UMICO ALSO MADE HOOKLESS MODELS IN THE COMMON SHAPE, I.E. CRAFTSMAN #19. THERE IS NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY COLLECTOR EVER FINDING THAT MODEL. REMEMBER UMICO SHOES WERE ACTUALLY MADE BY JOHN DEER. NOTE HOW THE CRAFSTMAN ACE #19, RESEMBLES THE PHOENIX SHOE AND THE CADILLAC SHOE. THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT THAT THESE THREE DIFFERENT SHOES DID COME OUT OF THE SAME MOLD. THE MARTIN SHOE #8 SHOWS THE PEGS FOR THE TOE CALKS. ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER  SHOES IS THE ‘LUCKY RINGER’ FROM 1922.  DAVE BAKER FOUND A PAIR OF THE ‘LUCKY-E SHOES, WHICH ARE A DIFFERENT SHOE, BUT ACTUALLY JUST AS RARE. THE ‘BETSON’ #18 (MADE BY PEORIA MANUFACTURING COMPANY)  IS ALSO A HARD TO FIND SHOE, BUT NOT AS SCARCE AS THE PMC SHOE ALSO MADE BY –PMS.    (SOURCE – DUNN – THE SHOE) Text Box: 1 Text Box: 2 Text Box: 3 Text Box: 4
