The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

[jebarne]

Decided to focus on working down my shoe inventory. I know there are guys here who look for USA wingtips. As I work thru the piles, I'll post here with size. All available for cost plus shipping. These are the first 4 pair. I've also got these up on ebay, but unless they attract a bid, I don't mind pulling them.

Just send me a PM.

First are these from American Gentleman, which was a line made in Lynchburg, VA by the Craddock-Terry Shoe Company (formerly Hamilton Brown shoes)

Pebbled Grain Longwings, 8.5D. look like triple oak soles.

Obviously it is impossible to compete with the other worldly hauls this weekend. So, I will state ahead of time: "This group is merely interesting and does NOT represent epic hauls that you will tell your grandchildren about."

This was another Auction find. Its a collection of OLD Boy Scout Medals. Most people would care at all. EXCEPT, there is something very special about the old Eagle Scout Medals. Can you guess?

Here's the history of the medals, can't tell exactly where yours falls.

Thank you for this - and you were correct

And I'm starting to feel like I'm opening my own AE store. Again, all posted, so technically available.




How many styles of bicycle-toe shoes does AE sell? I think I have 4 different ones right now.

Also didn't know they re-used names.

Never seen short wings WITHOUT perforations until these. Marlow.

Thank you for this - and you were correct

I've had them make some things for me and the tag was identical to a suit they made for me last year.

Knowledge Box TM update

8/24/15

First items have come in for the box!

Koala T contributed a Robert Talbott grenadine garza grossa and real Hermes in red.

Dr. Livingston contributed a fake blue Hermes in a nice package

Woof sent in a whole shoe! Florsheim burgundy shell. Also sent a tie made of Irish Linen.

Thanks for the contributions. I am going to have to cut down on some of this to fit into a mailing box.
I don't think anyone wants to pay medium size box flat rate charge USPS for the Know Box.

It is the Robbins Type 3. What I was hinting at about why they can be valuable is because they are sterling silver!

Thanks etsy!

Damn, serious below 10% rule

 

[Nobleprofessor]

Thanks etsy!

Are you serious? Why wouldn't someone who is selling one of these bother to check for the value. How did they come up with $425?

Is it one of the big ones?
