    Borsalino won! It has arived!!

    Well, after carefully peeling the sweat barrier from the liner, which caused a little sweat along the way, I found the ID tag. It looks a little like the diagram below: 2479 58172 6 1/2 Grano Detasti Do our resident Borsalino experts have an idea of age and...

    Borsalino won! It has arived!!

    Visigoth: Open Crown was about 5 3/4". It's about the tallest I've had next to my Peters bros which had a (I swear) 6 1/4" Crown. The color sounds great. What is the color of the sweat barrier? Cheers! Dan

    Nice looking beater. Wow! I bet it provides plenty of shade.:eusa_clap Is that a 3" brim or just an optical illusion. Either way, it looks great. Can we see the verrrrry verrrry beat up, moth eaten, filthy Open Road as well? Cheers! Dan

    I have several varieties of that phone. My Pop used to work for Western Electric and had collected several phones from the different phone offices he worked in. They're in great working order and sound just fine. Personally I think they sound better than most modern phones. Cheers! Dan

    Borsalino won! It has arived!!

    Thanks James... Yeah, it is pretty brittle. The leather is in excellent condition though. Maybe a little Lexol will loosen things enough and get a bit of lubrication going. Do you happen to know what the old barriers were made of? It's not quite a mylar, a cellophane of sorts perhaps? I...

    Borsalino won! It has arived!!

    Old sweat barrier... Just behind the sweat band there is a very thin sweat barrier (I guess that is what one would call it). It is reddish in color and seems to have sort of welded it self to the sweat band and the liner. Would steam be a good tool to help loosen this bond so as not to tear...

    Mallory just arrived!

    The hat or the edge treratment? Again, a lovely lid, wouldn't change much. Sharptoys is right, a little steam is ok. Shape it a little bit at a time, steam to give a little hold, repeat until you have the desired effect. Pretty simple actually as long as you're not afraid to poke and pinch as...
