Rare Vintage Martinelli wide brimmed Gay Prince style fedora 7 1/8

[Purplesage]

This is one of my favorite hats that I am forced to sell because I need the money. This is a rare hat, there are not a lot of Martinelli's like this out there. The hat is probably from the 30s or 40s. The hat resembles a Gay Prince and looks as though it has never been worn. There is a faint yellowing on one area of the crown which does not detract from the beauty of this hat and is hardly noticable (photo 2). The hat is tan with a 5" crown and has a wide 2 3/4" brim. I am asking $385.00 plus shipping.

Yeah, but they may not fit a 7-1/8. Had it been a 7-3/8 it wouldn't have lasted an hour.

Had it been a 7 1/2, it wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes.

Welllllllll..... had it been a 7 1/2, it would have come with a higher price tag too.

Higher than $385 plus shipping?
