fftopic: Tom I couldn't answer to your PM. Got a message saying you have to clear your inbox.

Cleared! (They kinda add up when you're not paying attention!:eusa_doh: )

I don't normally look for this type of thing, but I think this is the first C&K gift hat I've seen.

:eusa_doh: How'd I MISS that!!! :eusa_doh:

I bid on this one which seemed to kick off the bidding war for everyone else. I'll keep looking.

Wow.. I put my last 30 second honest bid in, and three snipers took me out like a CIA hit on a drug lord. And the hat doubled in price in the last 5 seconds. Amazing.

I don't know who got it, but that one was on my watch list, too. Nice lid.

I've been watching that one jon. Looks like you had a bit of a shootout at the end. Congrats on being the last man standing. Great lid - and box!

Very nice. I just got back from my afternoon run, expecting to see that I won that one, but was really quite stunned that I was the bridesmaid.

Enjoy that hat! I'm going to go blow about $50 on dinner.

Thanks guys, I was hoping to get it for under $200 but was not too surprised with the final number. It seemed the Dobbs was drawing attention

Not me... I was runner-up!:eusa_doh: And here I thought I'd add another Champ Featherweight to my collection.

Join the club! I saved pictures of that one for future "hand blocking" efforts, aka creasing & bashing. Congrats! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

You guys would not have liked my plans for that hat - I already had the wide, dark replacement ribbon picked out.

Actually, I did have 'preservation' in mind I was going to take my old Open Road with the wide black ribbon, and swap ribbons with the Dobbs. My O.R. is too big, and so thought I'd get it back to it's original look, then sell. And I'd soon be wearing Jonbuilder's gorgeous Dobbs Twenty, a perfect fit, with a vintage frayed-edge 2" black ribbon.

sigh...

Scott, I can go net neutral on the Thin Ribbons especially if you alert my big noggin self when that too big OR goes on the market. I was watching it but putoff by the too wide ribbon...
