I took the money and used it to buy a Stetson XXX fifteen (sound familiar) in green that is on the Mailtruck on the the way to my front door today as I type. So all in all I am happy

Glad to here it Frank. Ebay has been good to me and my collecting/hording gene. I have had a couple of problems but have always gotten my money back. Enjoy your Large noggin hat.

Yes that is a really nice one and in new condition. I was hoping someone on FL would landed it. It's from Dinkelsbühl probably late 1950s.
Glad you got it, as I have been watching it the whole time as well! Great old Homburg.

I'll take the blame on this one. Look forward to receiving it and sharing pictures.

Did you buy the teensy beauty?
I was tempted to place a first bid with this seller on this hat, but there is something about the wanton use of unsharp mask in the pictures that always scares me away. If they were in my Photoshop class...
I hope we get to see some good shots of this beautiful liner.

Regarding the Borsalino. It has the corrugated vent at the front. Any idea when that came in? I was thinking late 40s early 50s.

Looking at the liner imprint and the taped rear seam on the sweat, I think this example might be earlier than that. I have the corrugated venting on a Young-Quinlan Borso which I think is late 30s or early 40s... but with Borsalino, it's always a guess.

Good catch, Alan, I bid early and low on that one, but it's going to a great home!

The paper label points to early 50s at the latest. It is tough with Borsalinos because they used similar methods all the way up to end of the 1970s (for example taped rear seam).

Thanks... I've been wanting to have a German hat and was lucky to catch this one. It went to the last penny of my bid.

The corrugation feature of the Borsalino has been around long before the 40's and 50's. Two of my pre-1920's Borsalino's had it. Guessing it debuted around the turn of the 20th century.

Interesting hat, with edge binding narrower on top, and the row of stitching from the underside of the brim visible topside. It also does not apparently have a model or price designation.
