That's a somewhat recent vintage too. No way!
My problem about the over priced hats is so many are now wanting the same price for small sizes as the larger more in demand sizes.
Lost this one. Went more than I wanted to pay.

No. But at $50 shipping + import tax I had to step out and I already have a brown furry, so this one would be another one.Do you have a max-price per square foot, Joao?
Yes it is. A $40 hat for me ends like a $100 hat for you in the US.It's the extra on shipping gets you over every time.. If there is shipping i factor that in on what look at. $8 is okay if it under $25 but over $30 and $11 for ship kills it for me.
the pit falls of find your hat size at the same time ever one else does too.
I live in Denmark, and Joao lives Portugal, and usual shipping fees are around $40 - $50 from the US to our countries. Ontop of the price (plus shipping!) comes customs and 25% VAT ... and we shouldn't forget the "import-fee", around $30 here in DK. Our situations are not comparable.
It looks really really nice!! tiny tiny size...One Stetson on ebay from the early 1900s has a 5X marking and a clear beaver imprint. First time I ever saw an early 5X for sale. Unfortunately it is a tiny, tiny size--like a 6-3/4. Still neat to see the markings.
It seems, mjggg is a soon banned spammer [huh]
Wonderful. Now we have another guy who claims to be a knowledgable collector of antique hats with a bunch of hats that are decidedly NOT antiques. Most of them seem to be 60s era or latter and he's selling many of them as "Depression" era.
He even has one he is selling as a "Rare Antique Tom Mix Stetson Cowboy Hat" that is not marked Stetson. Plus he has a date of 1901 on it when Tom Mix didn't start making movies until 1909! (And didn't become a star who people would name hats after for a few more years after that, even)
Where do these hucksters come from?
Naturally he has $300 and $400 price tags on all of them.
I mean, I can take a few little honest errors in a description (even a wrong date on a lone auction), but when a guy is selling a slew of 1960s hats as "rare antiques" from the depression era, that edges into lying and misleading buyers, then.
