Dashing, Billy!
Dashing, Billy!
Nice observation! I love it+1... fantastic brim/moustache synergy going on there.
After a unusually long journey (I already thought it had gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic) my vintage Gramercy linen newsboy finally arrived.
We've decided to take a trip to Buenos Aires, as it's been many years since I've been here and my wife has never been.
There were two auctions that I was interested in today.
I thought for SURE $120 bid would be enough for this 7 7/8 952 block....but NOPE....lost that one. Its a shame too. Those 52/952 blocks almost never come up in huge sizes like that. Kind of upset about it.

But then I won this beautiful Milan and it put me in a good mood again..
Its was originally sold at the Pantke-Harpke Co store and every other Milan or Panama straw that I've seen from that store has been excellent quality, so I'm hoping this one is no different. I'm not really a fan of telescope crowns, so if the crown is as tall open as I think it is, I will be re-blocking it with one of my 52 blocks.

It seems you put this post in the wrong thread ...

It'd better be summer soon!
Unfortunately, our photos taken there were lost when my wife's camera was stolen.
very nice!! Look forward to seeing some close-ups of this one when it comes down... I have a feeling it feels good on.
