Like everything else, they are worth whatever someone else is willing to pay! I picked up a set of scuba gear at a yard sale for 15 bucks a couple of years ago. It included a wetsuit, fins, tank with J valve, dive knife, BCD and a two hose regulator from 1965. The guy was the original owner and everything was immaculately maintained. I found a similar reg at vintage scuba.com for $570. Crazy, huh?

Hey! I have seen those before!
They are indeed a pair of 1976 Bicentennial vintage USD Rocket Fins. They even came with matching red white and blue straps...

Do you think you could get red white and blue spring straps?

I had a pair of those when I was a youngin' I tossed them before i knew anybetter when the strap broke, along with assorted other pieces of dive gear that grandpa and dad had when they dived. Shamefully, I even threw away an original pair of jet fins. I wish I had those jet fins, and the bicentennials still.
