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

[Baron Kurtz]

I was very surprised by the winning bid on that Playboy. Great for the buyer! Maybe people were put off by the mysterious described but not photographed "moth bites".

I happened to be sniffing around on ebay tonight, found this and thought I should rescue it before it fell into that pool.

That's a beauty g.d.

Here's an "item of interest," for sure. Imagine one of you well-heeled gents might want to snap it up.

G. Durand, that is a beautiful deep chocolate hat. I love those deep browns because they are perfect for those fall and winter days.

Bought this several days ago with a Best Offer. It's so cute!

That's exactly what I was looking for. Nice find for yourself, too.

That sure is a cute 'bow-snapper'! I must say, that the store's 'hat-display' also has rare graphic potentials. Both very beautiful!

@g.durand: Well saved, Sir. A very nice find - it looks fingerlicking soft!

Wow! For sure "of interest" but maybe not just for this Forum. Looks like in belongs in a medieval dungeon.

A couple of interesting straw hat auctions... neither of them mine:

Knox Sea Island

Finely woven straw boater

I actually had a watch on the Knox, but got bussy with other things and forgot about it. Not a classic beauty - but definitely an interesting lid!

Just won this Knox hat on the 'bay.

Anyone know anything about it? First knox too!

 

[Rick Blaine]

*^%$!, wish I'd seen it, I'da been all over that Knox!
What a find!

Thanks, man!

Do you know anything about it? The model name or date? I can hardly make out the letters underneath the knox symbol.

Congrats, HB3! Great win at terrific price. Enjoy that one!

Cool. It says "The Fifth Avenue" under the Knox logo, and is the model name. It was a model name they used for several decades, though the style continually changed. This one should be '50s, though possibly late '40s. The factory tag will tell us, but the leather could be dry, so be careful checking that.

It says "The Fifth Avenue" - but I don't know the model name (if any) or date
