Default Picked up some "new" vintage leather

I was lucky to see this S.D.Myers jockstrap holster listed with a BIN at a below market price on that auction site we all love to hate. It had been listed only 30 minutes prior to my seeing it. BANG! I hit that button so hard I hurt my finger. This thing looks like it came out of a time capsule. It's absolutely flawless.



FWIW,that's an AWA Peacekeeper keeping it company.

You ain't kiddin'! There was another one that I had on my watch list in much lesser condition. It sold for $300+ the next day.

That one had a Buy Now for $150 before the first bid went in. I was tempted but the condition made me decide against it.

The one you got looks great, nice find.

They don't come any finer than that,FT. Way to go-I'm glad someone got it that would take the trouble to post a photo.
Great acquisition & it just goes to show that paying attention pays off.
