any way of telling the age of these Boulet Boots?

Hey all,
Wondering if there is a way to use the numbers here to date these 'classic' riding/working boots by Boulet? Heel says "Biltrite"
Thanks for any guidance?

To my knowledge Biltrite is the brand name of the replacement rubber heel and unrelated to the boot maker/brand.
They share similarities with some Bally flat boots I have of my mother's from the early 90s - the high top, half lace/half hook fastening, and the pattern of the upper construction. I believe they were a fashion boot style, with a nod to the victorian, which is probably where you're seeing the classic work style from.

I agree, the early 90s when Edwardian boots were in fashion again. I had a pair nearly identical in black/grey then. Kenn still has his brownones. Those speed lace eyelets at the top are typical of early 90s boots.
