sheldonsmom Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 My EagleSon collects vintage BSA items. He recently acquired a pair of BSA oxford shoes in new condition. These were NEVER worn. We cannot find any reference for price or value. He does not want to sell or otherwise get rid of them, he just wants to know what the value is for his records. Thanks for any and all assistance.

epalmer84 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Any brand name? Excelsior was one of the larger manufactures who made shoes for the BSA. I have one of their old tokens. See: http://www.sageventure.com/coins/misc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I saw a pair of these go on E-Bay for about $125 Stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonsmom Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 The shoes are made by Rand. The heel has a compass for the tread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 The ones I saw had a BSA FC emblem on the heel with a series of MB's embossed all around the edge of the sole. Stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonsmom Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 We have seen those in catalogs but had never seen the Rand shoes before. These are about a boy's size 3 and have never been worn. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSScout Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Gee, my Buster Browns were handed down to another Cub when I outgrew'em. Mom got me another pair ("my dog Tige in the heel!") . How in the world did a Scout shoe survive in new condition? Were these "collector" items to begin with?(This message has been edited by SSScout) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonsmom Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 A local shoe store found them in the attic and sold them to my son. I think these guys sold Noah his first shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSScout Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Did they sell'em to him for the price THEN, or the price NOW? We had an old time hardware store nearby that would price the goods and that was the price until they sold the item. Old lantern chimneys, grass scythe, mower parts for the 1947 Troybilt, if they had it still and you needed it, that was the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonsmom Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 My son offered him $40 for the shoes because that was all the money my son had available to him. The gentleman was happy to get it. Both were happy so it was a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
