My mother dressed me up-- I know I wore it more than once-- and actually took a picture of me, in our neighbor's yard, of me wearing the outfit.
And when I outgrew it, she boxed it up, put it away in the cedar chest, and when she cleaned out her cedar chest, I got it, because, obviously, I've not worn it since.
APPRAISER: Well, it's in amazing condition.
I love the red Tom Mix boots.
And look at the wonderful label in the vest, which is Westerner, and it's totally complete with its corduroy skirt just trimmed in fringe.
And, of course the box is just phenomenal, the advertising still in perfect condition.
Western stuff was, for a while, quite collectible in the '70s and '80s and '90s, and it took a dip for a while, but children's Western things are still collectible.
I would give a value of this, at a good retail shop, from $200 to $300 for the complete ensemble, with the box and with the picture.
GUEST: Well, it's worth a lot more to me.
It's just a good memory.
APPRAISER: You can't pay for sentimental.
GUEST: No, not at all.
No.
APPRAISER: Everything would be a million dollars if that was the case.
