Vintage Knox Twenty Stingy Brim Fedora 7 1/8

[Purplesage]

In order to make ends meet I am selling off a lot of my hats. This particular hat is a vintage Knox Twenty Custom Edge Stingy Brim fedora. The hat has no issues with the exception that it is missing the wind trolley button (it wasn't there when I purchased the hat) and some very faint foxing on the inside liner that you have to squint to see. The hat is dark brown with a black 2" ribbon and bow with a red feather. The crown is 5" tall (with center dent) and the brim is 1 3/4". The inside liner is in very good condition with the exception of the minor foxing already noted. The oilskin crown protector looks almost brand new. The 2" leather sweatband is soft and pliable and is firmly attached to the hat with stitching intact. There are no moth holes or nibs. The hat is a size 7 1/8 which is marked on a tag behind the sweatband. I actually hate to see this hat go. It's definitely for the Mad Men in all of us. I am asking $75.00 plus shipping which is what I paid for the hat. All reasonable offers considered.

Reduced to $60.00 plus shipping. Good price for a vintage Custom Edge Twenty.

Bump/dropped shipping. $60.00 shipped.

This is a tough crowd. Were talking a Custom Edge Twenty here. Quite a chunk of change back in the day.

Such a lovely hat..... I have a Dobbs, Cav and Champ space weight similar to this ..........how much for shipping to 4558 Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia??

 

[Purplesage]

I'm going to the post office today so I will check on shipping. Thanks for your interest.

 

[Purplesage]

How does $70.00 shipped sound. I checked at the post office and it is a little over $16.00 to ship to Australia.

Unfortunately after consulting with the "Minister for War and Finance" ( ie. my wife ) I was reminded of my other purchases this month (a nice Dobbs and new grips for my Colt.45) so apparently I have used my "allowance" already. Thank-you for your very generous offer Purplesage, sorry to have wasted your time.

 

[Purplesage]

You didn't waste my time since I was going to the post office anyway. Let me know if you change your mind I might be able to come down on the price a bit. Seems like my allowance is always used up as well.

 

[Purplesage]

Does anyone want this beautiful hat?

 

[Purplesage]

Can go lower than $60.00 shipped domestically.

Classy hat needs a home.

I'm tentatively interested. I just need to compare the size with the Knox I have at home. I'll let you know this evening.

 

[Purplesage]

The only thing missing is the windcord button. Can't beat the price for a Knox Twenty Custom Edge.

 

[Purplesage]

Bump $55.00 shipped. Custom Edge Twenty was not a cheap hat in the day.

Bump $55.00 shipped.

Hello, I'm new here.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to see the images, did you move them perhaps?
I am a 7 1/8 and may be into such a hat as you describe.

 

[Purplesage]

I don't know what happened to the photos of the Knox. I'll send you some to take a look at. I have several stingy brim fedoras I am selling which are all in very good to NM condition. Most are size 7 1/8 and there may be one or two size 7 1/4. You can send me a private message or email letting me know what you are interested in.

Regard,
David S.

Sorry for the late reply, I found a few starter hats already, so I'm good for now.
Thank you.
