Picked up a wooden thing with Justin on it. I am sure it is used to pull your boots off, but not sure just what to call it. It is on a slant with a wedge underneath. any ideas??

Niel,
Twig is correct. The value in these things is as a cross collectible. Many businesses had them made with their logo on them. I once had a bootjack that advertised Mickey Gilly's place in Pasadena Texas, the home of the original mechanical bull. Bought it at a yard sale for a dollar, sold it on Ebay for over $40.00. You definitely want to list this in 2 categories, one of them being clothing>shoes or boots or whatever, and the other in Collectibiles.

Neat item Neva ... also, I would make sure to put both 'boot' and 'boots' in the title (i think ebay still doesn't have that 'plural' thang fixed yet in the search function)
