There's a '55 and '56 Strat/P-Bass straps (Telecaster straps were brown until 1962) and 2 '57s. The last two are from '63 and '64, just before Fender went to the buckle with Fender on it. The last 2 and the '55 are rare as hen's teeth.
I got these 6 Straps from Terry, 1 of 3 who wrote this book. Basically after awhile "every" vintage dealer just gets to much stuff. Not that you need money, it's called passing the gift or experience of owning Fender history. It's neat and it's fun... and addicting!
I threw the cases together, which are all on my site for sale, just to duplicate the picture in the book. It's a blessing to just go in 1 of many area I got with inventory and stash and Bamm Pic it out brother*
All these parts are Primo, not cheap..not junk. It's not like you ever go online and buy another. THERE IS NONE..For Sale. Many of you probably never knew or seen the Black Leather Fender Straps with the Gold Fender Logo on them?
I mite sell as a lot the straps, again not cheap. All these PRE CBS Parts from Fender are really a Investment, not a buy. The Internet is going to dry 95% of the Vintage in time to come. I been saying this last 10+ years. Once a item goes outside USA, it never comes back. It might be sold again, but in their country. My opinion.. which I have many..:)
