Established in Scotland in 1856 by Henry Lee Norris, the North British Rubber Company (later Hunter Boots) manufactured rubber boots and other durable rubber products. The green boots quickly gained popularity and became known as Green Wellingtons to the British people. Despite a series of changes, the North British Rubber Company expanded its range of boots suitable for all environments and people, from farms to fields. Hunter then became globally recognized as a rubber boot brand known for its practical, creative, and innovative designs.

While Hunter Boots is now famous for its Original Wellington Boots, as befitting the home of fly fishing in Scotland, they previously produced incredibly attractive waders. These are the true, authentic Hunter boots, representing the essence of the Hunter Boots brand.

The item being offered today is a very rare fishing boot, with very few of them in existence. What's even more noteworthy is its background: after passing through the hands of Continental and several other rubber companies, it was spun off from Interfloor Ltd. This was the first time in Hunter's history that it achieved true independence, not as a division of a rubber company. These boots were handmade by skilled craftsmen during the Scottish factory era, created in the very last years before the factory relocated to China, making them an extremely rare piece. This is a gem that deserves a place in Hunter's archive collection.
