(Jimmyjameszzzz $25) Crocodilian Bag *Vintage* Taxidermy!

[Acro]

YES, there is an actual taxidermy baby Crocodilian on the front of this bag! The bag is stamped "Genuine Alligator" on the inside, with the location of it's origin, but it's hard to make out the words (3rd photo, top right). It is possible that caiman was actually used instead of alligator. This bag was likely made sometime in the 1940's or 1950's.

It has some wear, and some of the threads keeping the baby attached have come loose, but would be great for a restoration project or a curio cabinet!

I'll give ya priority shipping for $10 (in the USA). Outside of the USA, you cover shipping.

Marker not included.

Hey Jimmyjamezzzz@hotmail.com,
I sent you 2 emails. The first:

Hey,
Sorry I didn't reply to your question earlier, as I just came on to check now. They disabled replies on all the threads, and you aren't a member so I couldn't PM you. lol
Anyway, yes. The croc is missing a foot. It's exactly how you see it in the photos on the auction thread. If your looking to get out of the bid, you'll have to talk to those that host it.
Hopefully you still like the bag and are happy to have won the auction!
Let me know if I can help and talk to you later.

Which did not receive a reply. Then I wrote another email:

Hey,
If you don't want the bag with the baby croc with the missing foot, I could send either one of these bags instead (Croc_A bag or croc_b bag). Check the attached photos and let me know.
Talk to you soon.

And photos of two other strange vintage Croc bags were attached with the email. The 2nd email has not received a reply.

Jimmyjamezzzz@hotmail.com if you see this, please post up or check your email!

I think this person checked out, as it seems they have no interest anymore.
