GUEST: I got them from my great-aunt. She worked as a companion for wealthy ladies in the Kansas City area. And so I'm sure she traveled around with them, I don't know where she went. They could have come from anywhere.
APPRAISER: Well, they're Delaware moccasins.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: The Delaware in the 1700s and the 1600s were in the Northeast, and they gradually got moved westward more and more. Their first move was to Ohio. Then they got driven down towards Kansas. And finally in the 1860s, they ended up in Oklahoma, where they still are today.
GUEST: Oh, I see, okay.
APPRAISER: I think these were made probably in the Oklahoma-Kansas area, probably around 1860, 1870. They're very beautiful moccasins. They're made from deerskin with European glass trade beads and European silk on the cuffs. Because of the beauty of the beadwork, these would probably bring in the vicinity of $6,000 to $7,000.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: Yeah.
