Steve: Looks to be a very nice hat.

Thanks! I think it could be from the late 30s and just over $40.00 including shipping (thanks Manfred).

Wonderful, uncommon vintage 1940s(?) Dobbs 'Game Bird' fedora, okay size ... went cheap:

Thank you to whomever bought this before my hand became too idle. I hope it was a lounger. That lining looks radiant and I would love to see more pics, but the last thing I need is another black bowler!

Funny... I think that may be the first bowler I've seen with a wind trolley. Or that I've noticed, anyway!

 

[hatophile]

Yep. I'm back and buying. Got a dozen new racks to fill. Picked up a nice Marathon a moment ago.

Nice pickup on that one Justin, I bid too, but just didn't want to go very high. Can't wait to see how it looks on ya.

Al-- now you're set for St. Paddy's day!

Nice Borso, Steve.

That kid does not look happy!

That kid does not look happy!

Wind trolleys will do that.

 

[hatophile]

I suspected as much.

It is an interesting looking hat with a different "character" look to it.
Is a 'long nap' the same thing as what's called a 'long hair' ?

Wind trolleys will do that.

Its not the wind trolley... its that damn derby.

 

[Rick Blaine]

same hat?

Just picked up the above for a song.

It looks suspiciously like their discontinued Monti Optimo. What do ya' think? [huh]

Nice one!

Probably hooked into place by Mom, who knew from experience that it was likely to go flying when knocked off his head by the other boys and not the wind!

Ok this has been bugging me. Would you guys consider this a bowler or a homburg?

That's the ever illusive bowlomburger ...

 

[Historyteach24]

lol. It is a confusing one isn't it? I am thinking about bidding and wearing it as my first homburg.

 

[Jedwbpm]

Its a homberg. Look at the hat sweat band. It says st.Regias. That is what Stetson called their homberg's. I was going too bid on I it , but now since everyone has been informed about it I think I'll pass

 

[Historyteach24]

Sorry Jed I didn't mean to ruin it for you. I felt the same way before I posted but I honestly did not want a derby and worried that is what it was.
