Great win... and one of the best auction typos I've seen in lately. See how it looks when it arrives. In less severe lighting, the moth tracks might not bother you. I've used the point of a needle to release the felt nap at the nips, which can lessen the visibility of certain moth damage. The coarser the felt finish, the easier it is to work on this.
Alan, yes, I was VERY lucky with this one. I was expecting a last second snipe to take it near $100 and was happy when it didn't happen. The typo certainly helped but if others search like me, they would have found it by simply typing "Knox hat". Sometimes I just don't understand how this eBay fishing works.
Thank you for the tip on the moth tracks; I'll try the needle method and perhaps those tracks are not as bad as they look. I'll post some pictures in the Knox thread when I receive it.
