What does a 1930s bank money bag look like?
I've heard this was the case (pun intended) - pillowcases were used - but it just ain't that sexy in a display. Surely, they occasionally used a bank bag to carry pilfered money? Thanks for the replies, and yes, I know, don't call you shirley . . . .- Levallois

What does a 1930s bank money bag look like?
I am looking for a bag that would have been filled with money by bank robbers of the day and taken with them. I assumed that it would be canvas, larger and have the bank name on it. Since I have never seen a real bank bag from the era I thought that I would ask here. This will be part of a...- Levallois

What does a 1930s bank money bag look like?
And I've already heard the punch line from my brother-in-law "well, if it was an early 1930s bank bag then it would look like it was empty." What a card. I'm trying to complete a 1930s bank robbery display and I need some money bags - I cannot determine from ebay or elsewhere what a proper...- Levallois

No, I'm not sure but there are no wool tags anywhere that I can find. Thanks for the response.- Levallois

Please help me date this coat
Found this overcoat and I think it's from the 1940s but I don't know how to confirm that. It's not wool but there is a zip-in liner of wool. It's in pretty good shape but needs cleaning and pressing. Here are the photos. Thanks!- Levallois

There is a white tag but it has faded out. All you can see clearly is a 19121 on the top. So it is of no help. Any comments/opinions on the possibility that the "to duplicate" numbers are individual serial numbers and chronological? Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Thanks! John -
Thin Man on TCM New Year's Eve 2009
These are amongst my favorite movies of all time - the banter between Nick and Nora is the best. The first movie (and the best of the series) "The Thin Man" was nominated for four Academy Awards including best picture and best actor for William Powell. Some people are put off by the constant...- Levallois

This seems simplistic and pushing the data to the extreme, but after looking at seven examples of the number, the only thing that I can see is that they appear to be sequential - it seems like older hats (based on determinations from the way they look, price tags, etc.) have smaller numbers -... -

Thanks Sue! I was wondering if anyone - Brad Bowers or others - have been studying the "to duplicate" code letter and numbers on the tags under the sweats on Cavanaghs? Mine is B 93486. Thanks! John -
Post New Hats Here!
New Cavanagh - rusty brown - size 7 1/2 with a 2 3/8 brim and 5 5/8-inch crown - it does not have a Cavanagh edge but because the sweat was replaced it cannot be determined if this is the way it came from the factory. It's darker and more orange-red than in this photo. -
The Cavanagh Club
Well, I got it and I now know what all the fuss is about with the Cavanagh brand. What a hat! Light, thin, and soft yet strong. Beautiful russet (rusty) brown - not as much red as I thought but that's ok. I measured the brim every half inch for the entire circumference and it is spot on at 2... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Please forgive the t-shirt but it's the lull on Xmas Day before I dress up for the big extended family celebration - I'll take another photo then but I'm too excited to wait. Henry H. Roelofs hat - medium grey - 5 3/4 crown and 2 1/2 brim - consensus late 30s-early 40s. It's in an... -
Roelofs Hats?
The hat could have been made with old components and then put away as it is pristine-unworn. Almost too nice to wear . . . almost. -
Roelofs Hats?
Merry Christmas everyone! I have a minute here between opening presents with the kids this moring and cooking for the extended family this afternoon. Here are a couple of photos of the Roelofs. The first is a United Hatters, Cap, etc. tag (approx. 3/4-inch square) which, I believe, suggests a... -
Roelofs Hats?
I appreciate all the hard work and thought that has gone into researching Henry H. Roelofs Hat Manufacturing Co. by cybergentleman and rlk. I, too, find it curious that a company like this should, more or less, disappear (in terms of advertising, etc.) at approx. WWI. If the explanation is... -
