Vintage Native American Great Lakes Region Moccasins, Worn, Rabbit Fur Liners

Description

Vintage Native American Handmade Great Lakes Region Moccasins.
THESE HAVE BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE THE 1950'S. MY FATHER WENT ALMOST EVERY YEAR FISHING IN THE GREAT LAKES IN THE US AND CANADA. HE AND HIS BUDDIES OFTEN HAD NATIVE AMERICAN GUIDES AND TRADED FOR THINGS THEY HAD FOR THING THE GUIDES HAD. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE GOT THESE BUT THEY WERE IN HIS COLLECTION WHEN HE PASS AWAY IN THE 1980's.
THIS PAIR ARE WELL WORN AND WELL MADE JUST THE SAME. THE BEADWORK IS ALL HANDSOWN AND ONLY SOME ARE MISSING ALONG THE EDGE OF ONE. THE LENGTH MEASURES 10" TOE TO HEEL BUT I HAVE TRIED THEM ON WITH MY SIZE 8 1/2" FEET AND CAN GET INTO THEM WITHOUT THEIR RABBIT FUR LINERS. EACH DOES COME WITH A FULL RABBIT SKIN LINERS FOR WARMTH. BOTH SKINS ARE INTACT AND THE FUR DOES NOT COME OFF. THE BOTTOMS ARE WORN AND AT THE HEEL ON BOTH THE HANDSTITCHING HAS SEPARATED. ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING THINGS TO ME IS THE FABRIC THAT UNDERLINES THE TOP CUFF ON EACH OF THE MOCCASINS. IT SHOWS A BOY IN AN AQUALUNG AND FISH AND THE WORDS "AQUALUNG" THE BOY SEEMS TO BE IN COMIC FORM BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS A CARTOON FIGURE OF THE 40's-50's
SHIPPING WILL BE IN TISSUE AND PLASTIC. THEY WILL SHIP WITH INSURANCE TO COVER THE SELLING PRICE. THERE WILL BE A FLAT FEE OF 15.00 FOR ALL USA BIDDERS. I WILL SELL INTERNATIONALLY BUT BUYERS MUST AGREE TO USE THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM BEFORE PLACING A BID. I WILL NOTS SELL ANY OTHER WAY.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AT ALL THE PICTURES AND ASKING ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I ANSWER HONESTLY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER.
