Brand #7: Where the Red Fern Grows (1974)

The brand of the bibs of the Pritchard boy was again quite hard to find but I did in less than 1 hour. 12 pockets including 2 pencil pockets. There are 2 vertical holes above the bib pocket. These are mainly or only at Big Smith's. But they usually have 2 buttons on the bib pocket. But I found a 60s/70s pair with one button. Most pairs have a diagonal hole used for the chain of a pocket watch.

Up to the 50s the logo was black, like shown on his back, below a triangle. I first found this brand in Honkytonk Man (not hickory striped there). One button is quite rare. Billy's pair also has just one. Maybe Big Smith as well? (Click to enlarge).

The pairs in the 2003 movie with half pocket with lid are maybe not Montgomery Ward. I found that most brands had these. Billy has a small rectangular pocket. Could be Stronghold.
