Found this today. a little beat up and creased, but has relatively good structural integrity. Schoble vented bowler:
Excellent find Bowlerman, that lid looks smooth my friend.

Great one, Jeff. I love the vents!
Thanks guys. It cleaned up just good enough-- some of those dust marks are just stained in-- and got some of the lumps out of the crown, but creases definitely still there, and it's hard to say if one of them doesn't go all the way through. Also the sweatband appears to have pulled from the stitching in some areas, but had been glued. In any case, I'm comfortable with it for a twenty-spot or so.
Oh-- can't believe I forgot to include the most important picture:
I thought I'd take a picture of my new bad weather straw hat. I don't have to worry about it getting wet since it is a palm leaf hat. It even has a nice leather sweatband. Only 18 bucks delivered from Ebay.
Thanks Manfred, it's my largest hat yet. I don't dress in anyway like a cowboy (boots, belt buckles, etc) but my last 4 hats have been western style hats. I love some of Alan's western hats and they have been growing on me a lot.
