44 freaking grand?! Good lord, couldn't the winner just do cocaine like anyone else who has too much money?
New here, enjoying the wealth of info. I've been looking for an awesome vintage bowler. Just bought one off ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321321244818
May have paid too much with the UK shipping but I love the lining. Any info on this hat is appreciated. Kind of wondering how old it is?
Thanks guys. With your support I'm feeling better already. That, and while I'm writing this, Pharrell is wearing another one while performing at the Academy Awards. So there's still hope!
Looks in great condition. They're difficult to date, but it's probably late 40's possibly early 50's from the logo.
Here is a pict of the lining.
I saw a posting here saying that if the label says R.A. Dunn vs Just Dunn & Co is probably 30s or older but who knows.
The full G A Dunn & Co name disappeared in the late 50's. I'm 90% certain your bowler is no older than 40's from the combination of sweat and liner, but in terms of construction there's little difference in quality between the 30's and 50's hats
Scooped again. Damn.
Anyone throwing in a bid on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171258706035&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123?
It is a Borsalino.
