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

[alanfgag]

This Velour is from the GDR and probably late 1950s early 60s. Based on inside measurements should be around 59cm.

What a wonderful ribbon treatment... so simple, yet so strikingly different.

Got my Stetson Twenty today, better than described!!

Don't you love when that happens? A very dramatic hat... hope we get to see this one on.

I have a VEB Luckenwalder Hutfabrik that is very primitive. Hopefully yours was made before skills and standards were lost.

Any idea on the year of this one? It looks so much like what my grandfather had on his head in a 1938-9 picture of him and my mom.

Yes same company. The Velour and construction looks decent on this one. Here is yours for comparison purposes.

Late fifties or early sixties on this one... it's a beaut.

Maybe the days of the $500 stetson 25's are behind us.

Yeah, been watching that for days. And thanks for letting the whole lounge know its there, too.
'Preciate it.

I had only asked the Lounge members a question,I did not say where the Whippet was for sale or post the auction link/number,I could have but choose not too.
Ebay is not the only auction out there on the world wide web there are many other auction sites that sell vintage hats!!
Best Regards,CC

Man I love that Twenty.

The market was quickly flooded after that big sale. I'm amazed at the number of 25s listed in January and this month. CBs are cropping up like crazy and 100s are being taken out of attics. It's a buyer's market for high-end vintage Stetson.

Bringing this little beaut' back home

Sold at Lowensteins' Store in Nashville. Looks like a nice tight monti in good shape. Spring being just around the corner, eh?

 

[alanfgag]

Nice catch there Rick!

I just opened two cartons at the office. It's a busy day, I won't have a chance to take pictures until tomorrow... but what an exhilarating Friday. The Gay Prince is a pretty boy... but that optimo panama from Kaufmann's is a museum piece. The straw is perfect and the weave finer than I can count. The sweat looked rough in the photos, but it is fully stitched, though too dry to turn out. Photos to follow over the weekend... just had to share the excitement of a good box opening. I know you'll understand...

 

[Rick Blaine]

Nice catch there Rick!

I just hope it's half as nice as that Kaufmann of yours, above!
