FS: Exotic skin vintage NOS straps in many colors

SQUINKY’S SEVEN: THIS WEEK --- EXOTIC VINTAGE SKINS

Latest offering of my weekly specialty straps batches called Squinky’s Seven. Here is a group of vintage exotic skin straps that are all New Old Stock. They are made from goatskin, snakeskin and lizard. This is the type you can no longer purchase with thick, quality skins. These straps are unpadded and can come with either a vintage style nickel steel or gold-plated buckle.

Squinky’s Seven batches come from my specialty stock. All of these straps are unused New Old Stock type no longer available. They are almost all one-offs purchased as NOS inventory over a long period of collecting.

Top strap is 8 1/8 inches long, placed end to end counting the buckle; you can easily judge the length of the others from that.

Look at the close-up pictures of each strap to see the unusual patterns, colors and skins.
