1950s cowboy suit
« on: September 18, 2009, 10:52:12 am »
I am trying to find out the value of this cowboy suit. It was my brother-in-law's....he wore it in the early 1950s, when he was about 5 years old. There is a vest, chaps, a belt, and a holster, all made of suede. There is also a shirt with embroidery on it. The shirt has a "J Bar T Los Angeles" label. I have been unsuccessful in researching it on the internet, so would appreciate any help.  There is a picture below....the only thing not included is the belt. Thanks!

Depends on condition and who sold it.  It looks like the high-end of cowboy garb.  The maker usually dictates worth.  My .02 pesos.

J BAR T started in 1956. if you were to consign, the set too some one like Hake's Americana Auction. it would likely bring $ 150.00 + Dollars E-Bay is not all way's the best way to go.

Could bring you even a little more if in excellent condition and material is sturdy.  Stay away from Ebay with this if possible like D&b said....you will fare better and hopefully someone would get it who would appreciate it and not use it just for halloween.
