That GP clone is a cool looking hat, Joe. Nice find.

Thanks Stefan. I can’t believe I’ve had the patience not to rip the box open…. On my agenda for this afternoon!

Whoa!!
Yay Brent. As fine a hat as can be. Glad you finally got your hands on this one after all the searching.
I do hope it is your size for a change.
Super sweet!!

Thanks, Bowen. I think it will fit (the power of positive thinking ).

Ever since the 7 3/4 Churchill 50 I bought a few years ago on eBay turned out to be a 7 3/8 (I think you know the hat) I’ve been looking for one.

 

[deadlyhandsome]

I don’t know much about this hat, but it checked enough boxes to make me curious. I made an offer that was accepted so I guess I’ll find out soon.

Quality Hat Works #52 block and size 7 1/8. Sold by Charles P. Shipley in Kansas City, MO.

I’d wear it just so I could tip it and flash that liner!

 

[BobHufford]

Geez … I hope people didn’t bid this into the stratosphere thinking that this was the original box

 

[RossRYoung]

I was hoping it was going to deter bidders! Sheesh

 

[drmaxtejeda]

Well, somebody beat me to this one, but I gave him a good run. I just really wanted to beat that sawinokur reseller, and I wasn't looking forward to pay what I bid, so I guess I kind of won.

That was a great hat, but at that price I think I’m glad you didn’t win, Max.

 

[drmaxtejeda]

Me, too! It wasn't worth it for me. I don't really like Westerns much. Although I would have liked it to round my collection, I really just loathe that sawinokur guy and his "Dad" act, because I fell for it once.
Besides, I have a nice similar one that cost me half as much.

It’s there B, the ribbon is just decorative. Alan has another one, almost certain this one is all original too
