Vintage strap? worth anything?

Sounds kind of stupid but I've got a(vintage?) Silver Eagle Design "Pick Pocket" leather/suede strap. No Idea how old it is, but it seems this brand no longer exists. Any idea what it's worth? Not expecting to get huge dollars out of it, but I hate suede straps and I'm trying to figure out how much something like this is worth.

If you can find a photo of a famous rock star wearing one and write it up really well it could bring a couple hundred bucks. I've seen it.

OTOH it may bring $15.

Hey I just got a silver eagle strap for free on a bass in an ebay auction.

If you don't like it send me pics. I may trade another strap for it. (or I have parts for trade in my signature if you dont need a strap.)

Really?! I've got a strap I've had since the 60's that appears to be identical to the one Hendrix used at Woodstock.
