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

[Tooch]

Finally snagged an Adam Envoy in my size!

Congrats! When you helped me date mine, I didn't realize you were in the market yourself. I'm glad you landed one.

Akubra Fawn

Any of you Akubra junkies able to tell what this model is??? Looked like a great deal so I grabbed it.

Yup, good deal! Acorn Fawn Stylemaster.

Wow, that's an oldie! What's your assessment, Billy?

Late 30's, perhaps early 40's but unlikely, but will see once it turns up and I see what's under the sweat.

Tooch - Yes, been in the market for an Envoy since seeing Douglas' so I'm happy to finally snag one.

Not a hat, but an invitation to a 1944 Hat show in Minneapolis. I figured it since it was 6 bucks total it would be a fun piece of history to have.

I love these little pieces of history.

Yeah, it almost makes you wonder who the attendees were and wish that you could go back in time to attend.

I won this Borsalino Thirty tonight. Does anyone have an idea as to the vintage?

Nice catch. I asked the seller a couple of questions about that one and never got a response. Looks to be a good buy for you. Congrats.

Thanks. I've never owned a Borsalino before, guess I should start boning up on the Brotherhood thread.

Did it include the Panama? If its that fancy so might be the hat.

Hey, Cracker, that Borso's gotta be pre WWll or there abouts. Maybe you can get more specifics from the Borso Brotherhood.

I am no expert but judging by the ribbon width the hat has the look of the 30s or 40s to me. However, there is nothing to stop it from being a 50s hat either. On the inside, the printing and letters look rather modern. I remember the companies Rothschild and Young Quinlan from my childhood in the 1960s. So though my first instinct is to call it a relic of the 30s, my zeal to consider something as "old" often outruns reality, and I say it would be as late as 1955. Wild guesses all. By the way that's a nice OR on your icon.

The paper label doesn't have the Borsalino script. I would say 1950s but someone else might be able to place it better.

The unreeded sweat made me think older. [huh]

The Borsalino "Pesca" (it's the finish - kinda like a peach fuzz), was $30 from about 1952 to 1967.

Not mine.

Premier Strato; looks early. No liner. Anyone get it?
