Here's the evidence of my uncontrollable Homburg mania:
Is there medication for this?

Mr. Paladin said:I picked this up on e-Bay for practically nothing and it arrived last week just before Thanksgiving. It is a beautiful shade of brown and I am pleased with the bow; it has a bit of flare which is appealing. It is very clean and has only one small blemish on the crown which is dull black and not visible at even conversational distances. The box is in pretty good shape as well and the set makes a very nice specimen for my collection.

Brad Bowers said:Nice! And easy to date to the early-'50s, too. Proof that Hat Corporation of America used the oilskin tip protectors in the early-'50s, which is when I contend they started.
