Kirkpatrick…allegedly a size 7 ½:

Another one of those auction wins where I might regret the shipping charges. I don't recall seeing this Resistol Breezeweight model (or line) and my Googling is not finding any ads or anything. I might have to lean on @DaveProc 's searching skills once again.

A New York City store ...

I received the box from this auction house, but it was about 5" x 5" x 5" and rattled. It turned out to be a bunch of refrigerator magnets. This doesn't bode well for the hat, but they might stick to Joe's minnow bucket.

Whoa there, that’s what came instead of the Resistol Breezeweight?! What a major disappointment. That Breezeweight was a gem.
 
I know! Still no reply from the auction house.

The auction house washed their hands of it and said to call the shipper -- the auction house never sent a receipt or a paid invoice either. The third-party-shipping is chasing it (we're assuming that the refrigerator magnet folks have the hat). Hopefully I'll hear something in the next day or two and they can send labels to us to get the right items where they need to go. It's always exciting.

Waiting on a Robley I bought yesterday. Robley was an Atlanta hat store. I'm rolling the dice on this hat because the seller's pics look like this is a beaver hat to me, and a tag says it's Custom Made. A couple other Robleys have been shown on the Lounge in the past. Since this was only an $80 gamble. I can't do too bad on this hat.

Yet another nice catch, Mike.
