Could someone possibly ID these shoes?

I bought these recently from a thrift store and am really wondering what brand they are. All I can make out is the Made in USA stamp. Any help would be seriously appreciated.

They are by Florsheim. I think the medallion reads "Worthmore", which was one of their budget lines. Those are probably from the 60s or earlier.

Wow...so Florsheim had about three or four levels of longwings.

I must have them all.

Thank you kindly for the responses! Really appreciated. The quality feels pretty decent, but I know jack-squat about shoes. Opinions?

I just picked up a vintage pair of Florsheim similar to these, but in oxblood color. In my opinion, the shoe doesn't look too bad for being so old (blurry photo or not). Perhaps a good leather cleaning/polish will do. The color is nice.

After a polish/clean, they look pretty spectacular. Pretty happy I ended up grabbing them. They set me back like twenty bucks. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Now, to buy some shoe trees..
