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

[hatophile]

Is it yours Hatophile? If so...let's talk.

Actually, no one bid on it, and I don't really need another gray hat, so I left it alone. It may come up again, Justin.

I have a thing for Resistols...still haven't found a kitten finish in my size though...grrrrrr.

 

[red71veloce]

I've got a couple of kittens....they are special...got a soft spot for Resistols!

Just picked this EMERSON up. Here is a brand that comes up very rarely and to me it looks to be fairly early. With a shorter homburg rolled brim and a fairly straight crown, could be early 40's, maybe late 30's. I wont know until I have it in hand. I also could be way off base and it could be from the 50's. It has gone unsold a couple of times now and thought I would give it a shot.

That could be a winner, Josh. Nice wide sweat on that baby!

I was looking at that hat, shame it was too small for me. Nice hat.

I like this one as well but also small, darn this size large noggin.

No - that is the Squatter style for wearing round the saleyard. Famous hat used by former Prime Minister Howard.

Excellent! Thanks, cookie.

Here's a great Dobbs promotional catalog.

Nice hat, indeed. Like you, though, I have a too-big head for such a gem.

 

[randooch]

Not sure if this is a Strat pin, but I'm sure someone can tell me. It says "Constellation" on its belly. What does a real Stratoliner pin say?

 

[Lefty]

A constellation is a constellation. The strat pins don't say anything.

1895 Stetson receipt

I was a bridesmaid, but some lucky bride got a nice **XXX Borsalino.

 

[fmw]

That one was a steal if the buyer gets his size.

 

[Lefty]

I've seen fewer than ten of these.

 

[alanfgag]

I was hoping one of the big heads would buy this so we could see it. The flash photo makes it look like it's made with roofing tar.
Placed a feeble bid at the eleventh hour, but not enough to meet the reserve.

Is this a beaver felt? Why is it so shiny? Thanks!

It's a long hair finish. One Lounger has (IIRC) three of these that I know of, but he's told me about them in private messages, so I'll leave it to him as to whether he wants to post them.

who got the 100 case?

Silk I would guess, shining in the light of the camera flash.

I was thinking of bidding on it, but the missing plastic innards kept me away.

Any of you ever bought something on Ebay without knowing what it is? I don't know why I did but I did. Your guess is as good as mine.
