Fantastic - and what a price! :eusa_clap

Whew, now that is a bowler, carouselvic. Screams 1930s to me.
And my size, too...

 

[Bantam Man]

For youthful smartness...

And this one....pretty big bucks?

This one will be mine.

Big bucks? It depends on how you look at it. In the rather rare event they turn up, I gladly pay for:
- a panama
- 7 1/4
- vintage, in near to perfect shape
- with a c-crown
- a joyful puggaree
- ... a Mallory. (This being one of my favorite brands, if only because the appeal to my "youthful smartness" strikes a note with me )

Congrats, Bantam! That's a sharp looking hat for sure.

 

[Razzman]

Congrats Peter on the snazzy Mallory Panama.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap : It seems a nice Panama is commanding a premium.

 

[Bantam Man]

Thanks fellows...

...for your kind notes! You are a bunch of great guys. :eusa_clap

Michael, I know what it is to loose an eBay-auction on which you have set your mind. That is why I was really determined to win this one.
Hey, but you can always come to this side of the big splash if you would like to lend the Mallory for a day!

I pick up what appears as a clean Baku straw for the summer

 

[St.Ignatz]

Jonbuilder that looks like a pretty sweet deal to me.

 

[carouselvic]

If that had been a 7 3/8, I'd have been on it like a duck on a June bug.

another old Stetson bowler, 7 1/8

Knapp-Felt, 7 1/4

 

[Brad Bowers]

Knapp-Felt, 7 1/4

I didn't bid enough on the Crofut & Knapp. If I'm right, it's a Tuxedo Hat. Anyone here win it?

Brad

 

[Mario]

Wow. That's a rare one, if I'm not mistaken. I read somewhere that there are only two FL members who own a Knapp-Felt. And $36 seems to be a pretty good price. Nice one.

I don't think I've ever seen one of those on ebay. Did you take it?

Oooooooooooothasnice!!!!

 

[tinmanzzz]

Fingers crossed

Just got this INDY Peters Bros 100% Beaver for $70.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=300317771642

"INDIANA JONES HAT BEAVER FEDORA HAND MADE"

Now the wait & worries begin:
Is it truly their 100% Beaver ?? [huh]
Is the seller legit (1st sell in a Looong time)
Is it really a 7 1/2 ??

Oh well, I'll just keep my fingers crossed

My 1st Open Road

This hat looks bad, I know, and probably a bit overpriced, but as I sit here watching Orson Welles' "Touch of Evil" (Great hat movie) and waiting for the re-block to dry, I'm very pleased. I even have a Royal Deluxe liner that I think is about the same period...I'm guessing mid-50's

Open Road on ebay

Alexander, 7 1/4

Lefty, I hate to dis a seller, but I am not pleased with this guy. He sold me a hat advertised as 'never worn' that was moth-ridden and hat all sorts of hair oil stains on the liner. His email responses regarding various hats were ridiculously evasive. On the other hand, his hats are selling for peanuts, so it's hard to get burned to badly.

another old Stetson bowler, 7 1/8

This one I bought. I've always wanted a bowler and I am really becoming a Stetson fan. The combination was to me unbeatable. Besides, the price was certainly right.
