I found these old moccasins at the bottom of a pile o' stuff in my wife's late grandfather's closet. She thinks they belonged to her great-grandfather as they were an 11.5 D and her grandfather wore 13 A.

It took me awhile to discover what they were as there was no branding on them. Looking at 1000s of images of vintage moccasins I finally narrowed them down to Russell Moccasin's Oneida Moccasin model. Most likely from the mid-1950s based on some with the same scalloped tongue that were on a Japanese site.
They were a great fit for me and I've worn them all Spring and Summer. They are so comfortable that I'm thinking of ordering a pair of their Minimalist Thula Thula boots.
Anyway ... while cleaning out a desk at her grand-dad's recently she found the catalog and price sheet. They were pretty bent up, but I have scanned them the best I could and you can see them here:
