Edited to attempt to consolidate current listings of pipes and hats:

These are my first ebay listings, and I plan/hope to list several other tobacco pipes, as well as a mix of fur and wool hats, including (but not yet listed):

Dobbs dark moss velour porkpie stingy overwelt (7 1/8) excellent condition, one or two tiny moth nibbles on top of brim
Adam Black fur felt stingy overwelt (7 1/8) like new
Bailey black Panama straw derby (medium) excellent condition, hardly ever worn
Scala black wool derby; stiff build (medium) excellent condition, hardly ever worn
Burgess Hats (England) black wool John Bull or "Dead Man" style tophat (medium), stiff build, excellent condition, hardly worn

For anyone interested, the other pipes that I plan on listing are:

Peterson rusticated Kapet 230 used 5-6 times
Savinelli black rusticated Dublin churchwarden, used less than 10 times
Nording sandblasted billiard w/ .925 silver ring, used less than 10 times
Comoy's silver shadow, used 5-6 times, excellent smooth birdseye, some fills
Dr. Grabow grand duke straight billiard, used 5-6 times, excellent grain, less common smooth finish, some fills
Cassano rusticated vest pocket pipe, used 2-3 times
Bacchus meerschaum (unsmoked, maker unknown)
Paycok Turkish meerschaum, small funky shape(used)
Heritage Embassy bent billiard, bought as an estate (heavily used), I have never used it


I will keep TFL posted as to when the other listings happen, and try to update this thread accordingly.

Feel free to PM if you are interested in making a pre-listing offer (no promises!) and I will be happy to email pics.
Thanks!

Biltmore listed on ebay.

is that bailey an open crown straw that you can crease? or is a "derby / bowler"?

is that bailey an open crown straw that you can crease? or is a "derby / bowler"?

"derby/bowler," but with a little water/steam, I'm sure you could put a little crease in it, say a center dent/pinch, but there isn't much room for a deep crease. The crown is 5" and the brim is about 1 1/2". It looks to me that it's likely a very similar body that Bailey uses for some of their other creased stingy-brimmed models, such as:

I bought it new here:

I guess it's too late for me to edit the original post, so: Biltmore Homburg sold.

bumperoo.
Bailey wool derby has been relisted. I had a bidder who backed out within a few hours of the end of the auction. It's wool, so I'm sure it couldn't have been a lounger.
Anyway if you know anyone who might be looking for a starter derby, costume hat, or something to play around with, steer 'em in this direction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220817153602&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123 A wool derby is a little more successful than a wool fedora, IMHO.

Black overwelt Adam 7 1/8 also still active. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220816609563&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

Dobbs dark moss velour pork pie now listed:

[bolthead]

what size is the Burgess and is still available?

 

[bowlerman]

Thanks for inquiring-- the Burgess is size Medium, and a regular oval. I haven't listed it on ebay, but it is available. Haven't really thought much about what cost I'd like to let it go for... make offer???
