NoNaMe-
Yeah, he does look pretty finished in that picture, but in actuality he is almost completely gray.
Tiki David-
Thanks for the advice - do you have any brand suggestions for the oil or wax?

This is the story they told my friend.
Story is they were at the samoa exhibit in the early 1900s in New York.
Guy is asking $3200 for pair.
I didn't realize they were wearing hats.

I don't think they're anywhere near that old, probably 50's or 60's & they've got "embellishments" stuck all over them. Someone apparently decided to "update" them.

When you say you saw them Today, do you mean they're local to us?
Never mind, I got it!

Saw those in July, local to us Granite. They look very Witco even with the embellishments but $3200 is way out of my budget.
