Some of that patina looks too good to be faked. No expert. Pretty cool in any event. Id kop some of them if I found em

Do we have any African mask experts on here.
Are these tourist trap crap or something better.
One of the masks with the hand stitching seems to be very old,also some have numbers in pencil might signify a auction item ?
Thoughts ?

Tourist pieces but not terrible. Overall nice look and some (modest) value as decorative pieces.

Three stops in an hour or so this afternoon.

The 60/40 parka is early 70s vintage. The nut holder is going in my office, and the electric kettle will see heavy use for coffee making.

Someone in a recent post celebrated finding a NN07 item. This got me thinking. I just checked sold listings and was surprised to see that the brand does quite well on the bay – many $30+ sales, plus some jackets at $100+.

I usually pass on it as the few items I tried selling just lingered for years and sold for $10 eventually, and there is enough of it in my thrift spots to fill an Olympic size swimming pool. Maybe it has become more popular internationally lately.

Do any of you guys buy it to flip, and how does it work out?

I have been mostly passing, but found a pair of chinos that fit perfect and have been keeping an eye out ever since. I have one piece listed, and have sold a couple.

Don't know if this is worth anything but it's lovely. Also old camera broke so I'm using my phone sorry for the quality!

Also this rowing blazer hoodie

And cording trousers

This is new thing. It seems to be a bag for people who go on tours with this company. But it’s got suede and heavy canvas with buckles.

Really really good and you can’t ever have enough big bags.

Kiton shirts are amazing but the smoked MOP buttons are incongruous.

Ethereal feeling silk and the incongruous buttons
