Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[casechopper]

Hey Scooter,
It looks like your links got truncated and aren't working but if the Cervo you're talking about is the one I was watching (an Open Road clone) then I almost bid on it but in the end didn't because I wasn't sure on the sizing. They listed the size as 7 5/8" and without a size tag photo I was worried a bit that they might have just done a front to back measurement. Hopefully they did measure correctly, in which case you got a good deal.

Well, Sam, I redid the links and at least I got the pics up there now. People will have some idea what I was talking about. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[scooter]

As for the size, I decided to take them at their word and hope for the best. The possibility of a front to back measurement never occurred to me. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hi Scooter, just noticed the homburg. I bid up to $50 on that one. If the extra long oval doesn't fit well for you let me know and maybe we can work something out.

W/o a doubt, one of my favorite vintage lids ever.

Who's the politico?
What's the backstory?

Tall crown, wide ribbon, ancient print on the sweatband leads me to believe it's a hat from the 20s or 30s.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

nah, 40s or early 50s …

 

[RBH]

Ya both wrong... its a hat from Kansas City.

Recently won this size 58cm P. & C. Habig Wien Berlin Kreissäge (Boater) probably 1920s and looks to be in very good condition. Rare to find any pre 1940s P. & C. Habig hats and this one is from the Berlin operation and store. Looking forward to its arrival.

Tall crown, wide ribbon, ancient print on the sweatband leads me to believe it's a hat from the 20s or 30s.

Nope. Vita felt. Early to mid 40s. It's just trashed.

Here's a comparison of one I had in good shape, and what that one looks like. Not sure how salvageable the ebay one is. I wouldn't touch it. Wrecked felt from the crease, binding ripped off, and all kinds of worn out.

 

[scooter]

I looked hard at that Three Way myself, but in the end, decided that I agree with Dinerman. Too little return on my investment. That hat has been rode hard and put away wet, it would seem.

Hey guys. I found this Stetson Whippet in my size on eBay. They say it's vintage....how can I tell? Stetson still makes this hat that I could get new...
