Another Bantam. Mid 1950's. This one with a liner. A taupe color felt with a brownish ribbon.

Great picture and she does wear it well indeed. Takes after her father in that regard I suppose.

Thank you... a throwback to a time when I used a real camera to take pictures for FL. And yes, for better and worse, she's got my genes.

Beautiful Bantam, Ant! That's a different crease for you. Will it be staying?

did you pull the double bass out of the guitar bag or the knock-me-over-with-a-feather hat?

Great pics, Ant. Fabulous Bantam. Do you play bass, too?

I do ... but not double bass or "doghouse" as they say in the trade ... been a frustrated bass player my whole life.
that is definitely not my bass though
