Could be that there's just a really uptight registrar out there with an
interesting fashion sense missing a pair of Candies from her closet...

Subject: found shoes

Yesterday, while shopping in a local thrift store, I came across a pair
of
shoes that had what were clearly intact catalog numbers on their soles.
The numbers had not been crossed out or otherwise marked to denote
deaccesstion.

This may all be on the up-and-up, but in the off chance it's not, I
thought
I'd send in a post just in case there's a museum out there looking for
the
shoes.

The shoes are wooden-soled sandals/slides.  The soles are painted red on
the sides, with small white dots.  The toe straps are made from plastic
strapping that's clear and red.  The strapping is held in place with
metal
tacks.  The shoes themselves, aside from possibly the work on the soles,
look hand made (at least hand decorated).  The catalog numbers are:
1985.9.29.3.A and 1985.9.29.3.B

If you think these may properly belong in your Museum's collection,
please
contact Buffalo Exchange at 505-262-0098.  When I spoke with staff there
yesterday, they said they would hold the shoes in their office.  Since
there's no one person to contact, make sure you mention that when you
call.

If you believe this message is worth forwarding to another list, you
have
my blessing to do so.

Thank you.
