I can’t speak to that. I do not know.Maybe I'm assuming too much. Was it just the car or his home too?

I've seen a few of those recent Excellents going upwards of $300 now on ebay.I should have been more specific. I was referring to the recent and short lived “Pure Beaver” hats Stetson made as part of the reintroduced Excellent line. I’ve often thought that the dimensions and details of the recently discontinued Stetsonian combined with the felt of the recently discontinued Excellent New York LE would make an incredible hat.
Hey, that's my Borsalino now. lol. The "famous" Moon bashing video. It is an amazingly soft and pliable hat. Still Love it. Thanks Moon, wherever you are now.There are lots of ways the hat “should” look. You can give it a cattleman’s crease in keeping with the thin ribbon western dress vibe of the hat (this looks like the way the hat was creased at one point):
Or, you could push the crown open from the underside:
And shape like a fedora (diamond crease shown):
Welcome, and good luck.

And there was an even more short lived Excellent model during that time called "Fortune and Glory". A Holy Grail indeed. Fantastic feel and finish.I should have been more specific.

View attachment 179709 HI, Found this in my local antique shop, a beat up vintage aluminium block that is electric with small steam outlet holes.
It’s made by Frank Spieler in Frankfurt and appears to be supplied by Reslaw in London.
I’ve never seen one, does anyone have any info on these and an approximate date please? It’s a cool piece, quite pricey but still considering buying it
Sublime...love that bash. Mine is still in the box open crown. Maybe one day soon I'll take it out for an adventure.
Obviously I don’t plan to plug this in as it will probably burn my house down!
I’m curious as to why you think it’s better than the other Excellent models: Stratoliner, New York LE, etc. Is is just personal tastes, or was it made to a higher standard?

The tobacco color is unlike any of my other brown hats. Nice warm glow. Fortune and Glory kid, Fortune and Glory.Personal taste/the rare Tobacco felt (which yes, I know the New York was offered in). Heck, it's Matt Deckard's Indy hat!

Hard to say without seeing them but I just removed a small smudge from the brim of a light coloured fedora with dry corn starch and an orange hat sponge. I rubbed the starch into the stain, let it sit for a few minutes then brushed it out. A low risk option to try.
Yes, I just reread my post and I should have been clearer....the sponge is orange NOT the hat.Thanks, I had to do a google search on what a orange hat sponge was.. LOL.... I ordered one and it should arrive shortly.
