A chance Facebook Marketplace ad led Renée Forrestall, 60, back to pair she sold in a yard sale when she was a teenager
A couple days after her birthday, she got a notification: a man named James Bond was selling a pair of vintage skates for $40. He didn’t know the size – it had long since worn off – but held up a ruler measuring the boot: 10 inches.She made it down to Bond’s home two days later, sat down on the step and put the skate on. It was uncanny. The skates fit just like the skates she owned back when she was a teen.Forrestall wrote her name in block letters – R.
She gave Bond his asking price – $40 – tucked the skates into her car, and drove the 30 minutes home in awe of the coincidence. Coming from a big family, her father had always insisted his children write their names on their own belongings so they wouldn’t fight.
