    Description

    Very rare Cheyenne Fully Beaded Moccasins circa 1910. INCREDIBLE PAIR!!
    These moccasins are native tanned hide, all sinew sewn. The beads are sinew sewn in white, dark blue, light blue and red. The soles are rawhide that have been worn smooth.  The upper leather has gone completely stiff- it could be relaxed with a leather conditioner. The soles are separating on the inside of the left moccasin- once the leather is softened they could be resewn. There are a few small areas where the beads are missing, but it does not distract from the beauty of this INCREDIBLE PAIR OF MOCCASINS!
    These beautiful moccasins were purchased in 2007 for 00 from Allard Auctions of Saint Ignatius, MT. The estimated value then was 00 in 2007!!
    I wanted to list these on an open auction, but this pair of moccasins are too valuable. I am open to REASONABLE offers.
    Payment in full is expected within 48 hours after item closes.  I ship moccasins Priority Mail so there is tracking and insurance. I add to cover added insurance.
    I have MANY valuable moccasins, baskets and other old Native American beadwork. I am deciding whether to do an auction or fixed price- I will see how existing auction items sell and if I get fair prices, I will sell almost all on open auction.
