I used to own a very similar pair of original ww2 USN issue boondockers, but sold them a few years ago on ebay. With the unfortunate trend that seems to settling in at the moment, if I was to sell these boots today, i'm sure they would go for a much higher fee. The same goes for original ww2 USN issue watch caps I've sold in the past. A recent watch cap on ebay sold for about £490. I remember winning an almost identical cap years ago for about $45.
unfortunate trend indeed for those of us who've been collecting for years.As for the watch cap ,it didn't "sell" for that price as the auction was rigged by 2 morons with one having a 0 feedback .it'll probably be back on the block soon.
Go F4-U. Are the boondockers original?
