    FS: Vintage Dobbs 7 1/2 LO

    Agreed. It is in the rules for selling in the classifieds, no? (I am too lazy to look). Haggling is one thing. Playing both ends against the middle is something else again.

    FS: Vintage Dobbs 7 1/2 LO

    I understand your POV. Right of first refusal on the sellers' counter would've been considerate & courteous for him to have extend to you if you had made the initial offer, as it seems you did. 7 1/2 stingies are common tho', no sweat, eh? [huh] Just tryin' to pour oil upon the waters, ya' know.

    $75 clams for that would be sweet indeed. I was awaiting the answer to a question regarding the hat as you snapped it up! Potentially a nice snag!

    Restoration question

    Does anyone have any experience with enamel restoration? Do you think I might be able to, with a steady hand, a jewelers loupe and some of that Testors 'enamel' paint we used on airplane models when we were kids and be able to restore something like the above to its original appearance?
