Need Help Valuing Childrens Campus/Rugged Country/Now Breed/Ely Shirts

[vintagechildrensshirts]

Hello, I came across this forum while searching what the value of these shirts are. I recently found them in box in the wall of an old clothing store that I was renovating. It seems the shirts there are 6 of them were packed in the box and stuck in a wall and were forgot about. They are new, most have the plastic/paper in the collars, they are all boys size 8 and one is size 6. Any help is appreciated.

Oh wow, what a find! We’re they actually inside a wall? Or on top of a low wall? This forum does not give valuations but you can look up similar sold items on eBay and current listings on Etsy to get an idea of pricing. Edit, they all look 1970s to me.

Thank you, yes I've looked on ebay and etsy and can't find anything like them. Wasnt' sure if there is another company I could call for an appraisal. Thank you.

There are quite a lot of NIP kids' ELY shirts listed on eBay right now in the $35-$40 US range (ambitious pricing, IMHO), but only one has sold for that amount. Others have sold for less than $10.
Sorry, but this isn't really the sort of find that warrants the cost of an appraisal.
Others may have different opinions, however!

What a cool story! I think Gemgem is in the right ballpark with the 1970s.

And I agree with Donna about the likely low ROI (return on investment) from a paid appraisal. In my experience, kid sized vintage clothing is generally less sought after than adult sized.

I think a couple of the print may be more collectable than the others and they do have the advantage of being dead stock/unworn but inclined to agree they outlay for an appraisal would be risky.
