Nice looking catch, Brent. I would have put an offer in for that back drop cloth, too.

Deal.
I’m really hoping it’s going to fit me, but no sizes where provided just some not-too-precise measurements.

Is that how this works? I've been playing the game wrong this whole time.

There are no rules. It's like Calvinball.

I have that song "Oops!... I did it again" constantly playing in my head

Waiting for this one, too.

No fee necessary, Randy. Check out Facebook Market Place. That's where I've had luck finding lots of my latest finds.

 

[Rmccamey]

Will do!

Really? All I ever see there are washing machines and used cars, neither of which are worth the dynamite it would take to blow 'em up.

 

[StoryPNW]

I found my OR 3X and my Akubra Cattleman both on FB classifieds. There is some decent stuff if you wade through the garbage.

Or like playing any game with my young nephews.....there are sort of rules but subject to change on a whim.

I put in specific searches for "men's hats", "Bowlers" and "Top Hats". Works for me.

Some goodies, Steve. That topper looks like an oldie. Was the spelling with the j in Köbenhavn the old spelling perhaps?

Indeed it was, Stefan. As is the umlaut over the o. Kjöbenhavn or Kjøbenhavn became København in about 1906. The new spelling took a while to catch on, so can still be seen after 1906, but faded out by WWI.

See also this wonderful very early turn of the 19 hundreds Petitgas Top Hat.

J and ö in Copenhagen plus ö in other words whereas ø became the official norm after 1906.
