Booth's boot hoax

[Dave Taylor]

I believe the one auction ended due to no bids as the seller relisted it.

Well I have a vague memory that we have discussed this boot before but I couldn't find the conversation.

It's clearly not Booth's boot. It does not even look similar to the real boot found at Dr. Mudd's which is now at Ford's Theatre. From my vague memory and the back stamp on the CDV, the boot was in a side show of sorts. I've seen a few of these photos up for sale over the years but I think the Pawn Stars guy is crazy to think he can get $895 for it
