OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

That‘s a nice one. A brown 1900 Medal long hair without a sweatband went at the same time with a pile of hats.

I missed the end (as I was not a player -- even though it was my size). What did it end up going for?

Yep. I bid on both but didn’t win either.

I was the first bidder at $80 and I topped out at $480…didn’t come close.

That was a HOLY COW! emoji that didn’t translate.

Oh my! Thanks for the update Brent.

I thought I might have had a chance at $480, but with a few days left they added photos of the labels and I figured I was sunk. 7 1/2 is a rare find in this hat, even so I didn’t think it would go for that much. Of course, you can go the rest of your life and never see another so I kind of get it.

Sure thing, Bob. The only part I cared about was this:

I’ll post some shots when the Noot arrives. I guess I felt the same way Brent suggested, but definitely felt sick over it for a day or two. That subsided luckily.

Yipes! I would be able to buy at least fifty hats for that amount. None of them them would be like this hat though

Thoroughbred 10X…later in the Beaver Brand timeline.

There’s a rather spectacular wide brim Mallory on Etsy size 7.5 in case it is of interest: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1224170895/vintage-1940s-50s-mallory-stetson-hat?click_key=64cd1eedb0058a4ee175e5b784314e7e1d5744fd:1224170895&click_sum=914b7c7b&ga_order=date_desc&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=fedora&ref=sr_gallery-1-25&organic_search_click=1

That hat on Etsy is the one I bought and call the monster gangster fedora that I've posted about.

Now that is unusual. I like it.

I like it too. If they weren’t asking top dollar for it I would buy it just to satisfy my curiosity. $160 plus shipping for a Stetson this era in a size 7 seems too much to me.

True. That is overasking for a hat that size.

Just bought this 40s Dalton longhair from Bill Hughes

A few defeats this week.
Cervo in blue which I bought, but seller declined to send over. No response, no nothing. Some people are strange.

A Barbisio I bought which was withdrawn, because seller's brother didn't want to sell it after all. Turned up this week on Ebay for a higher price than I had bought it for. Riiiight.

Another Barbisio I bought, but seller withdrew because she thought it was worth more. She would sell it to me for a higher price though. Thanks, but no thanks.

I was seriously outbid on this Stetson 100. It was an Ebay auction, so belongs in another thread, but fits nicely in this row of defeats and gripes.
