jec said:I was the one that asked about the lightness on the crest of the crown - but wasn't ready to go for the hat at $100. Hope it meets your expectations. And yes, the bidding probably would have eventually gotten that high anyway
Enjoy it - and let's see photos when the hat arrives.

Lefty said:$50 for a hat is not way high - especially for that hat. I think you got a pretty good deal on a very nice hat.

Went ahead last night and bought this Adam on the $100 "Buy-it-now" price (plus $15 shipping). Looks like the hat is in good shape. From the research I had done and from lessons learned on previous auctions, it seemed to me this hat would go for at least that much. Also, the minimum bid was $49.99. Seemed to me that someone was going to snag it for $100, and I've wanted a vintage brown hat for a while. [huh]
Thoughts?

It's in pretty good shape overall--there are a few small moth bites on the underside, but they're barely noticeable. With only one hundred of these ever produced, this was a steal at $275!
