Thanks, Dan-o!

Summer, but I could not resist.

That's a really good one for you. A John Carradine 30s movie look.

Right on the money DOA.

J Lee hat today for that tropical look.

I should have fought you harder for that one, man! I put one bid in and didn't try again when I was outbid.

Alan: As much as I love Zeiss refractors...I use one( a pair, actually) nearly every day at work...I think your elan in that linen jacket and boater is the draw.

thanks for the thumbs up on my summer boater outfit. But I do think it's the sharp views through that Zeiss that rocks the crowd.

I'm glad you didn't pick this one, he looks a little sinister here.

Well, you did get that nice Whippet, was it?

Well, maybe it's both, but that boater just completes the look. I like the color as well as that black band. May I ask which brand is it?

I've got six of them!

I also took that ribbonless Stratoliner yesterday for $56, too.

I pondered that one. Curious to see how it looks fixed up!

Well, you got a deal! Sorry about the $12.50 I cost you (I was second highest bidder), but I suspect your max was a good deal more yet. Nice grab, glad it went to a Lounger. Looking forward to seeing it properly brought back to it's glory!

That is an awesome picture, hato! Who is that, what's it from?

Don't know what movie it is from, but that is the famous John Carradine! Father of David (from the TV show Kung Fu, now deceased), Keith (who played Wild Bill Hickock in the first season of Deadwood), and Robert (Revenge of the Nerds).

John was usually a heavy in films and was in a ton of some of the most famous flicks of the 30s, 40s, and 50s.

I have to her down to the hatter and have a 3/8 inch ribbon put back on. Then I have an extra Strato pin laying around that I'll throw on it. And it will be ready for pics.

But don't worry about the price. It was still cheap even with your $12.50 added in there! LOL

All 3 sons played the Younger Brothers in The Long Riders. 4 sets of brothers played 4 sets of brother = James(Keach), Younger(Carradine), Miller(Quaid) & Ford(Guest).
John Carradine played lots of roles as an undertaker as well.

Thanks Bob. Here are some close-up pictures of this hat from the Boater Faction thread.

Refer to HE and Tom's posts. I also do not know what movie it's from, found it by googling John Carradine.
Danofarlington started all this, then Alan threw in a picture of him and it went from there.

BTW- if you like Westerns, you would love The Long Riders Tom mentioned in his post, where 4 sets of brothers portrayed the James-Younger gang.

Looking sharp, billyspew, overbite and all!

Fantastic! I love that Sportaire. :eusa_clap

Beautiful, Perry, you did very well with that one!

Hat details? Looks great any time of the year!

Very nice, the Stetson Nostalgia is definitely a handsome looking hat, and you wear it very well!
