Alligator shoes for men - any desirability?

[Naphtali]

I'm gradually unpacking and found two pairs of my father's alligator shoes, black Florsheim Imperials and brown Stetsons. They are 10-1/2 Bs, unwearable by me. Does anyone want or need such shoes? They appear to have been worn seldom -- less than ten times -- from wear on soles and heels.

Please post some pictures !

"Cookie" may definitely be interested. You cam pm him here on the FL.

I'd "bite" but their too narrow for me! I love alligator anything!

Guys:

I'm 'way out of my depth, which is the reason I did not advertise the shoes. I have no clue what is fair value for either pair.

Depending upon value parameters, I strongly prefer to trade them rather than sell outright. And an obvious problem is that my flatbed scanner is not satisfactory for creating acceptable graphics unless I really jump through hoops.

Heck, I might be interested. They may well be too narrow for me, too, but maybe they aren't. And maybe they can be stretched (I've done it more or less satisfactorily before).

Can you post pics?

I'll try. Using a legal-size flatbed scanner, graphics may not be the best.

Ya got me scratchin' my head. Naphtali.

Do you have a digital camera?

I have no digital camera. In the past, the wife of a friend in Missoula took digital photographs for posting on the WWW. She will be unavailable until after the first of the year, I believe,

I have no digital camera.

How about a cell phone camera? It's pretty hard to sell something without pix.

I have no cell phone, no touchtone phone. I have Automatic Electric AE40 rotary dial phones from the 1940s. Except for electronics that allow me to do my work -- manuscript editing and book designing -- I am essentially a Luddite.

So he jump out an’ chase him t’rough da swamp fo’ miles an’ it hot like hell in der. Finally dat ol’ gator got tire an’ dis Cajun jump on him an’ you talkin’ 'bout a battle royale, I mean dey was fightin’! Dat gator got dat big tail swingin’ it back an’ fort’, whish wap whish wap. Finally he wore dat gator out an’ flip him ova on his back an’ look him up an’ down real good….Den he look up at da sky an’ look up at da sky an'say, “I jus’ be damned.........not one shoe on dis alligator!!!”
