Hello,
I am in the market for something fairly specific and fairly rare. I am always looking but Nothing on eBay or other sites right now.
I wish to purchase a vintage stingy (No more than 1 3/4) brim with at least a 2 inch ribbon in size 7 3/4. Any color.Must still be true to size.
This style appears to have been popular during the late 50s-early 60s.
Old Blues eyes is wearing this style http://media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/11189/11535633_1.jpg?v=8CE770C8F6FCB80
I have purchased several new stingy brims only to be disappointed. While I have found some that look fairly similar, most simply lack the look and feel of the vintage head ware. Usually the ribbon is not wide enough and the crown to high.
Sheriff Bill Decker is wearing exactly what I am looking for;

The closest I've found was a blues brothers had that would have been perfect if the ribbon had been wider (it was only 1.5 in). I just can't find the whole package that the vintage offers.
I am willing to pay in the $ 150-175 range depending on condition.
Please let me know if you have what I am looking for.
Thanks.
