I'm guessing 1980's, so not really vintage...but nice shoes I think

My first pair of Church's

I'm assuming it is seal as it says "Fighting Seal" on the inside

The shoes cost $7.99 at the thrift store, and I paid an extra $4 for brand new AE shoe trees

This no flash picture shows the color and texture of the leather better.

Those actually look like elephant to me. I have a pair of elephant boots made by the old Palace boot shop. Those are identical in texture to mine.

elephant and seal can appear similar. The above pair are the Church's sealskin (although there are other textures of seal. Church's had a run where they made shoes from ANYTHING that moved & breathed.

Cookie is the Yoda Master of Vintage shoes! When he says 1960's, bank on it.

Sorry...didnt mean to insult anyone, especially a Yoda Master :)
When you mentioned "Church's had a run where they made shoes from ANYTHING that moved & breathed" I thought there was a definite time period for this...
Couple of more pics..
