Cortez '72....no brainer

Been away awhile. This thread is seriously on fire! After the intense feelings of jealousy, it has inspired me to get back in the field daily. Anyway, here are a couple of my recent brags. Most are n/a except for the Versace:

Probably my most valuable find besides a Tom Ford a found a few years back. Sold same day it was listed.

Rocky Mountain Featherbed with what looked like fox fur.

Cortez '72....no brainer

This does not mean they were made in '72...just an fyi. (def not made in 1972)

Ha! I don't know much, but I'm aware of that. They're an '09 and in amazing shape

Cannot ever go wrong with some cortez. 80s - 90s models are where it's at though. So, if ever any of you see a model in that date range and think damn, what grown man's foot is that small, think of me

Looks wise, Cortez are a great looking shoe. Around here they tend to have a stigma as a gangbanger shoe, so that certainly doesn't help things. I always liked them regardless.

I knew I had a pic saved of these. Sold these probably 5+ years now. My favorite Cortez I ever found. Blue suede from 1990.

Odd request, but does anyone happen to know the artist who did this piece? No markings, but it came from a gallery in Chicago.

As much info as you can give would help. Pic of gallery sticker, any signature/monogram/initials etc

Thrifting has been slow lately here in Blighty, but I did pick up a pair of J M Weston loafers today in excellent condition. 10 D and available.

Oh, and an Anerican Apparel collared jersey for the summer.

Big shoutout to @freehand for an excellent deal on those Cucinelli long wings he posted a little while ago. Once I've given them a condition and polish I'll post them up. The man also sent me some ties too just because he's a stand up guy. Thanks again

While we're on the topic of art value, here's a great example from a book I've been reading.

...I'd unframe and see if anything is hiding under the matting...sig, watermarks on the paper, etc.
