PoD Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Does anyone have a pair of shoe buckles made by Gentlemen of Fortune that they want to part with? I could really do with a pair and I dont think GoF is selling them anymore as I havent had any emails about them answered. ...and then I discovered the wine...

And has generously passed the patent (in a manner of speaking) over to me.... However... I have dragged my feet over the last year having a new batch of them made, despite more than a few inquiries about them. I guess I am going to have to stop dragging my feet about this and actually get them done. Although it may take me a few months to get the ball rolling on this.

Bilgemunky Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I don't want to steal business from Bagley, but if now's not a good time for him to crank out some buckles I might have an extra set or two somewhere. I AM BILGEMUNKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not stealing business at all! If you have em, sell em! I've been saying I will get that whole deal going in "a month or two" for at least a year now, I would trust someone who has them ready to sell over my "it'll get done eventually" any day.

Yeah, aye hear-tell of some such tale fer a while... the word up an down the street is it be takin 'im a bit exter time fer the "Bagley Original" engravings on each piece... Seriously... We're all looking forward to buying buckles from the "Evil Buckle Merchant"... mP (I'm sure Lob is responsible for the "evil" part of that tag) Edited January 16, 2011 by madPete Aye...

Bilgemunky Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I definitely have a spare pair of the tarnished brass buckles which I would happily part with for $30+shipping (that's what GoF charged - no markup for a fellow pubster!) I think I also have a pair of silver plated, which if I can find would be $35. Let me know, PoD! I AM BILGEMUNKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilgemunky Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I don't know, Scotty - now that PoD has bought his, these buckles are TWICE as rare as they were a couple of weeks ago, and prices have necessarily skyrocketed I AM BILGEMUNKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilgemunky Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Bah, who am I kidding? $35 plus shipping for the last of my spare buckles - I believe that's what I paid. These ones are silver plated, so I hope yer feelin' fancy PM me and we'll work out the details. I AM BILGEMUNKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoD Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Fitted mine today and they look great. A lot better than the ones that were on there ...and then I discovered the wine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman of Fortune Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Its true. I handed the keys to magic buckle land over to M B some time ago. Even sold him a ton of original buckles as well, so he is officially the new buckle King. But, I can sleep soundly at night knowing that there are at leas 100 folks walking around with the right buckles on their shoes. sigh....
