- Description:
- Congress gaiters is a term for boots with elastic at the ankles. This style of boots is comfortable and easy to pull on and off. They were a very popular style in the mid 19th century for both men and women. At the time these were made, elastic thread was only available in black. This is why you see the black speckling in the white fabric of the gores of these boots.

- Description:
- The watch chain and good luck charm appear to be from circa 1900.The attached fob/plaque engraved "J.W.D. 1823" does not appear to be that early but may well be circa 1860, perhaps a fortieth or fiftieth birthday present to J.W.D. The plaque was likely added to the chain many years after it was initially presented.Such chains also included a watch, of course, which rested in the waistcoat pocket.It is unknown what White Brothers and Company of Boston manufactured."Willow Calf" may refer to calf leather but is unclear.The horseshoe on the reverse is a traditional good luck symbol when the shoe is pointing upward; then the luck never runs out.
