Cool little piece of history

 

Can't you just see it dangling from a gold chain in Brittney Spears next video???

I wouldn't mind having it myself but I think it will go for alot of $$$$$

...if it is the real thing.Sorry to be a disbeliever but I have my doubts as to it's authenticity.For one thing it looks like it was signed with a Sharpie and if this was supposed to be done in 64 or thereabouts,I don't think they existed then.If there is any real provenance with the item other than someone's say so,then good luck on the auction.And if not,then I have some really nice BRIDGE property down around New York City that I'm getting rid of CHEAP........

 

I'm dubious about VonD having neat little logo thingies for sale in '64. He was just a locally notorious painter/whacko/drunk then. This looks like the kind of thing Rorh got into years later than this, and Moon in recent times. Von Dutch's times of greatest marketing potential unfortunately didn't coincide with his lifetime...

 

Lots of holes! If it was REALLY in a fire it would have melted off the chain or ring and cut through the end- and real nice that it layed flat on the floor for the fire. Also I think those key chains first popped up in the late eighties or early nineties. Finally- never heard mention of this car before- anyone else? Sounds like one mighty big fable.

 

The seller has other "vintage" cast aluminum pieces for sale also.

Thay all have wonderful stories.

My********* alarm went off - notice that all of his auctions are private, so that you can't see what he's been selling. The ticket that he shows for the drags that he claims the car was in is linked from another website.

Good authenticated provenance has suddenly become valuable in the hot rod world. This is how to manufacture it...
I'd better get to work writing up a good history for my roadster. Do they still sell black&white film?
In any case, that thing is nowhere near as valuable as the original Von Dutch lunchbox...

 

Anyone read the terms and conditions?
The guy sounds like a Jailhouse Lawyer.

 

Something ain't right with the item and his story. I think someone is going to pay alot for a piece of junk with questionable history.

Let the buyer beware.......

 

HOLY*****... Did a search on Egay for Von Dutch. Got 122 pages of stuff.

 

Why not a close up of the sig?........................

 

Wouldn't a Von Dutch piece have had more of a engraved/machined/tooled appearance?
This looks badly CARVED in soft metal,then distorted with a blunt tool.....
Strange.......

 

Well you’ll have to excuse me for being a little skeptical, but this keychain looked a little bit familiar to me. So I went and pulled out one of the keychains I have been making for about ten years (well for sure at least 20 years after 1964) and selling for $5. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

....and the*****ers over a hundred bucks!!!

It's the P T Barnum theory at work.

 

anybody make a shirt that says Von Dutch Courage?

 

The seller is also keeping the bidders identity safe so that no one can warn them.......

 

You really should send in those pics along with the item number to E-Bay. And maybe to your local FBI office.
