The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[Fueco]

That dude in the back of that photo with the tan jacket holding the boots with the classic "Y Grip"... He's got the flipper look. Wonder what those boots were hehe

Some kind of hiking boots, but I can’t say for sure what kind. This store was having a $15 bag sale (standard plastic grocery store bag). I did pretty well with two bags stuffed.

It's a dragon with a star in middle and 24 crosses.
Taking it to an expert on Monday.

The Q with a triangle is 1755.
I emailed a guy another auction house and he is dying to see it.
