I've got the homburg on huld, and have since about two days after this first post. Unfortunatley there's no price tag on it, and the person whose booth it was at hasn't responded to give a price. We went back there yesterday to check on it, and sure enough, it's still there, but it might be a while before I get to take it home.[huh]

Great job at finding the Borsalino-makes me want to get back into the
Antiques biz...was a full-time shopper-fun, but risky & hard. As for the
Homburg, BUY IT!! provenance,provenance,provenance! don't let
it slip away, find the mug what owns it and thrust nice cash in his hand,quick,
say thanks and scram. It'll do nothing but appreciate, especially if put together
with any other Marriott ephemera. Great job!!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

they're holding it until they get in tough with this person
already we've left messages, but now it's just waiting.

I think it'll only end up being 10 or 12 bucks

we'll just have to see
