The World‘s smallest Western Boot Company

The Rockin’ H Boot Company may well be the world’s smallest cowboy boot factory (official production run in 2024 was one pair) BUT we now have an ‘official’ custom made enamel sign. Take that, Lucchese!

This is a traditional, slightly curved enamel sign. In the old days, these metal signs were an advertising staple for big brands and small businesses alike. Until the 1970s, these signs were handpainted, so no two copies were exactly identical. Today, they are silkscreened, but the materials used and the production process has not really changed over the last hundreds years.

This sign was made by Ernst Schmitt in Germany whose company has been in the enamel business for more than 100 years. Needless to say, I am EXTREMELY pleased with the result. Thanks again to owner Markus Schmitt and the nice lady who answers his phone for working with me on this project. It has been a pleasure to do business with you.

Rockin’ H Boots may be a small firm so far, but let’s not forget: Bill Gates also started in a garage…
