Thanks Tom, nice when things turn out well. I was pretty happy that she didn't accept my offer, right after I made it I was thinking that this wasn't really a $160 hat - even though Stratoliners had been selling for that or more.

I was also expecting the hat to be Silverbelly, but it's a nice shade of light grey.

Just arrived Stratoliner from this auction.

Interestingly, the seller had been trying to sell for quite a while at a $299 BIN price with no success. A couple of months ago, I'd offered her $160 which she didn't accept. No worries, when she changed to a regular auction, I was able to win for less than $70!

The hat is in need of a fair bit of cleaning, but otherwise quite nice. Need to get a pin now!

Nice looking Strat ! I like your lighting angle as well. How did it work out in color?

Marc, may I ask, what were you figuring that hat would go for? Also, did you consider having a Reserve on it? (I've never gone the Reserve route; it seems off-putting to me.)

Wormser Open Road style.

Just got a white Wormser Open Road (1950s, I guess?).

I intend to get rid of the thin ribbon and put on a 1-3/4 inch black ribbon. But I wanted to get this photo up before I do that.

By the way, I know the tag says 6-7/8 but it fits like a perfect size 7! I thought I might have to replace the sweatband and have it stretched to fit, but, nope!

It sort of amuses me that it is both a "3X" and a "Ten Star Quality" hat! That's a lot of quality, baby!

This thing is clean as a whistle, too. I doubt it was ever much worn.
