bravo my friend!!!

in my humble opinion your greatest score to date

what a pristine gem ... with a fantastic felted edge

I'd guess 50s ... maybe the early side of the decade ... of course just a guess based on style and the tip protector ... I don't suspect it is any later than that

I read that A. Harris in Dallas merged with Sanger Brothers in 1961 ... so it is before that
Thanks so much for that info Anthony. Forgot what that edge was called. Yes my best score for sure. Thanks again.

Vintage Lee Fifth Avenue "Water-Bloc." Age undetermined.
White Label "Handlee." New in original box. 2.5 inch brim. 6 inch open crown. Originally thought it was a overwelt brim but was pleasantly surprised to find this brim treatment. Forgot what it's called. Cavanaugh or something? Unworn and never creased. Yet... :)

Whoo, doggies! That's fantastic! Glad it finally found you. Bet you can't wait to dig your paws into that crown!

DSCF2538.JPG I may need some help from you pros. Please redirect this ( admin ) to where you think it should go. I just picked this Barbisio up as my 'one free' in a ' buy two..get one free' moving sale. Its too small for me (55) I wear a 61, but would like to trade for a fedora of comparable quality. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also...having trouble uploading more pics...aaargh !
