Did you kop?

Did you kop?

Ya I got a couple benjamins for the last pair from last year. These are size 11 so even better.

 

[Nataku]

If these are real native American ceremonial pieces, they could be worth a fortune. Find an expert, someone dealing with native American art, or in the auction business. Those could very well be a big deal.

Thanks for the tip. Hoping to find someone locally who could lend some insight on these. Definitely not making and moves on them until I do some more digging.

On another note, I really wished I knew more about vintage sneakers today. Flying completely blind, I just grabbed random boxes that looked old and had cool looking shoes in them. I figured with them being deadstock and at the price, it was hard to go wrong.

You tease! @Nataku

yes, TWSS.

what are some shoe models? Pic isn’t giving up the deets.

 

[Nataku]

Here’s another teaser of sorts. A random pair I pulled out earlier while I still had sunlight. I’ll take pics of some more tomorrow when I have good lighting.

 

[Thrift Vader]

Any size 12's?

 

[carreragt7]

I think you did pretty well! Pretty sure those were worn by Pipppppen and a few others in various color ways. Mid 90s, my elementary school days! Haha

Pretty sure these are tourist-trade pieces. Not the ceremonial blankets that bring the big money. The condition looks a bit rough. I'm sure they were cheap enough that it didn't hurt to take a chance.

 

[Nataku]

Thanks for the info, @tonylamer. Kinda figured that would be the case, but worth rolling the dice for sure. Yeah, some are rough. A few are in pretty nice shape. There are 8 in all. They were piled in the corner of a basement where mice and other critters were living for who knows how long. They were really cheap though, so it was a "buy now, ask questions later" situation.

French(y) shoes, perfect for my next trip to the Côte d’Azur...or Dollywood.

Regardless of value, those are really great folk art-type pieces, I would definitely would find wall space for them somewhere.
