An original mint Star G-1- tagging Grant!

[ZuZu]

Here's my original very early Star 55J14 which I wear now but which was 98% new when I got it. I paid $1000 for it- and it will last as long as a 2024 Eastman or even a Good Wear. I say hold out for an original in G-1s- the difference in the goatskin is stark.

I have one just like this, same tag/timeframe - they are great

The early Fosters and Stars didn't have the contractor name on the tag for some reason.

Man that skin is nice! For me it's the very stylish pocket shape, class and function. You must be happy to have this one in your collection!

It's my favorite. A wearable time capsule thing.
