Timeband Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi members, I bought an old handbag that was made in about 1950. It was made from a very small croc, so therewere only horns for one strap. Here are some pics Greetz Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeband Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Bag? Why buy a bag? We got gators walking around down here in the Everglades all over the place. In germany we have just rabbits running around, bad straps I guess I will let you know Mike, the problem in germany is the CITE for protected animals. Very hard to get croc skins.

rafi717 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I will let you know Mike, the problem in germany is the CITE for protected animals. Very hard to get croc skins. Greetz Uwe Indeed such a shame. I guess God has made them specifically for watch straps. Maybe a day will come when a giant croc will come around and show you off on his watch forum... And all the others will go "wow! What did you make this is one out of? A german? Those are really scarce these days... Hard to find... Damn those human right activists."

Timeband Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 You are right rafi, but sometimes you are lucky and get some of this great skin. This handbag came from the netherlands. Easterdays were very lucky days for me, I received a 6m long snakeskin from a real big snake, called Anaconda There are a lot of straps in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi717 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 @Timeband "Only when the last tree has withered the last fish has been caught and the last river's been poisoned will men realize we cannot eat money."
