00:00:02,066 --> 00:00:05,133
GUEST: This was a gift from 
my aunt for my first Christmas 
the following summer of 1950.

2
00:00:07,066 --> 00:00:10,700
My mother dressed me up-- I 
know I wore it more than once-- 
and actually took a picture

3
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:15,700
of me, in our neighbor's yard, 
of me wearing the outfit. And 
when I outgrew it, she boxed

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,600
it up, put it away in the cedar 
chest, and when she cleaned 
out her cedar chest, I got

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,633
it, because, obviously, 
I've not worn it since.

6
00:00:23,633 --> 00:00:28,300
APPRAISER: Well, it's in 
amazing condition. I love the 
red Tom Mix boots. And look at

7
00:00:30,333 --> 00:00:35,333
the wonderful label in the 
vest, which is Westerner, and 
it's totally complete with

8
00:00:36,766 --> 00:00:41,700
its corduroy skirt just trimmed 
in fringe. And, of course...

9
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:44,833
GUEST: Yes.

10
00:00:44,833 --> 00:00:47,000
APPRAISER: The box is 
just phenomenal, the 
advertising still in 
perfect condition. Western

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,966
stuff was, for a while, quite 
collectible in the '70s and 
'80s and '90s, and it took

12
00:00:53,866 --> 00:00:57,300
a dip for a while, but 
children's Western things are 
still collectible. I would give

13
00:00:59,266 --> 00:01:02,333
a value of this, at a good 
retail shop, from $200 to $300 
for the complete ensemble, with

14
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,333
the box and with the picture.

15
00:01:06,333 --> 00:01:11,033
GUEST: Wow. Well, it's 
worth a lot more to me. 
It's just a good memory.

16
00:01:11,033 --> 00:01:12,666
APPRAISER: You can't 
pay for sentimental.

17
00:01:12,666 --> 00:01:14,666
GUEST: No, not at all. No.

18
00:01:14,666 --> 00:01:17,166
APPRAISER: Everything 
would be a million dollars 
if that was the case.
