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

Hi. I'm back!

 

[Chotii]

Polo Ralph Lauren golf shoes, handmade in England. No size or style marks. No match with Google Lens. Maybe 1980s or 90s - I've found PRL purses made in the same pebble Black Watch stuff.

Goodyear welted, nailed heels. Size 15 or larger?? 12.5" footbed. Who made these things for PRL, does anyone know?

I think we need nail pattern or any markings on the inside to be sure.

Saw a guy get kicked out and banned for at least a couple months from the thrift for hassling the manager about a pair of speakers in the back.

While that was happening I found these bad boys. Gonna have to swing by everyday this week I guess.

Best I can do. There are no other marks inside. The nails on the heels tho!

Google says Alexander Levich, a Ukrainian artist. Some similar stuff here, looks like a good pickup.

The name on the back says "Levin" not "Levich", first initial A, middle initial N. It's in Russian, but painter could be from anywhere in the Eastern Block or living in the US now. The rest others have said already.

Japanese or Swiss movement? Flex-O band isn't original obviously, with those lug gaps. But it is an automatic.

If you clean the crystal up and throw a new Tan or Brown leather band on it, it may look nice.

Check out this stunner I just picked up! Reunited all three pieces. No price on any of them, got it up to the register and the cashier asked if $12 was a fair price. 😝 And it’s dual vented!

I’m guessing late 70s early 80s, back when Chaps was still incredible and carried in Barney’s.

Crockett and Jones based on "Benchmade in England" on the inside sides of the shoes if it is handwritten it is definitely CJ

Estate sale? My eyes go to these ones first, though that first one is probably a 1960's Don Draper type sport coat with a weird green lining and tiny lapels. That big light gray plaid overcoat is interesting, as well as the Pendletony red one and probably cotton 5 Brother flannel Blue shirt, but maybe its a wool or wool nylon blend.
