Lewis and thomas Saltz Fedora for sale!! Size 7 1/8

[Addisonspencer]

This hat belonged to my grandfather in the late 1960s. It has his initials FAS on the inside brim. It is a brown felt hat with a brown satin trim above the brim. It is from Lewish and Thomas Saltz in Washington DC- now out of business.

Size 7 1/8


It is in excellent condition- has been in the hatbox for probably close to 35-40 years.

The box is a little banged up around the edges on the top and bottom, but it's still in one piece and has the original plastic straps. It does say Churchill Hats Ltd. on the side, but on the bottom there is a sticker/tag that says Lewis and Thomas Saltz, so I'm not sure if that was a Churchill hat made for this store, or if it was just an extra box the store had, or what.

It also says beaver twenty on the inside brim- I'm not exactly sure what that means

Would you be open to a trade, or are you just selling? I have a used light-gray Stetson fedora if you're interested. I can post or send you pics. Let me know.

 

[Addisonspencer]

I'm just selling, sorry. I don't wear these kinds of hats.

 

[W. Buchanan]

All right, unless I missed your starting offer, I would give $60 for it.

If you don't mind, too, what would be the brim and crown sizes in inches, please?

 

[Addisonspencer]

he brim is just under 2in, like 1 15/16th or something like that. and the crown is about 5in tall.

And $60 would be fine- I do have it for sale on etsy.com, where I can reserve it for you, where you could pay by paypal and I can have it shipped by Monday/Tuesday, or you can send me a check, in which case I will wait until the check clears in my account to ship the hat out. Either way is perfectly fine with me!

I'm affraid I already orderd it on Etsy, when I stumbled on this thread. W: I hope I haven't ruined things for you? I did'nt mean to squize in like this.

 

[W. Buchanan]

Not at all. I thought the brim was a little too short, anyhow.

Enjoy the hat!

 

[FinnSpinn]

Thanx! Now all I need is that chocolate brown three piece suit!

 

[FinnSpinn]

It's in, and loving it!
