View attachment 295470 This mid/late 50s Whippet came to me in the mail on Christmas Eve.
Nice present to myself.
I’ve been looking for one for a Loooong time—that wasn’t over priced. $153 is just right.
I can merely assume the reasons only one other bidder was interested was because the 2 1/2” brim width wasn’t in the description and the camera angle made the brim look narrow.
I was totally shocked when the last seconds ticked down and 10 other bidders didn’t jump in! View attachment 295459
It’s a pedestrian, Un-extraordinary brown Whippet.
Nothing special, but it finally eases a ten year itch that I haven’t been able to scratch. A Christmas miracle!
It’s not mint, but darn close.
Makes me a happy collector. I’ve got a light brown Hanover Square that looks very similar. I’ll be posting a photo of them side by side soon.

Congrats on the Whippet! I’ve seen several lately, but most do seem overpriced or in poor condition. Looks great on you.

There’s nothing like filling in a long-waiting bucket, is there, Randall?!!!! The gratification following the journey is unlike almost any other and takes a truly mature person (in my opinion).
Congrats, my friend!!!!

Today I use an interview photo. It was made in these days for a newspaper, the Corriere di Verona attached to the Corriere della Sera, which published it yesterday.
It is a summary of my life as a photographer and other forms of expression ;)
For those who want I can also translate the text :rolleyes:
