    Info on ebay Borsalino I won for $20.50?

    welcome to the lounge! I've been looking for a decent alto for the longest time-all I can find is waaay overpriced not-so-vintage horns with pads held on with band-aids. Neat to hear of your scores on saxes! Now if there was a soprano hanging around without a home...let me know? I think...

    Another New Arrival! A Penney's Marathon.

    Razzman: ditto the above. Send it out and let the pros sort it out; one heckuva nice hat! If you compare the quality with some of the better Stetsons and even Borsalinos, I think you'll find it close to call. I've got a couple, and it never fails to put a smile on my face when I can don a...
