    Operator, get me Pennsylvania 65000...

    Those phones are great! Another expensive old thing I could probably live without - but don't want to. I have one of those Spirit of St. Louis boomboxes too. They're pretty neat. I never looked into the other stuff in that line - thanks for the tip!

    1950s Penney's Marathon for sale

    Michaelson, I never got an email from you...maybe it didn't go through for some reason? I just didn't want you to think I never answered you...but I checked my Inbox again and Sergei is the only person I got emails from regarding the hat.

    1950s Penney's Marathon for sale

    I've got a hat that's just too big for me to handle here. I tried putting some foam under the sweatband, but I finally had to admit: it's just too bloody big for me. It was advertised as a 6-7/8, which I can handle, though they said they suspected it of being bigger. Well, it was bigger -...

    Some period film questions

    My hat collection!

    Thanks for the kind words. I do indeed plan on attending the next Queen Mary get-together. This past year, I was only able to show up for the Sunday brunch, where I did get to meet a few folks who were all super nice. I plan on being there all weekend this year, and any of my hats...

    My hat collection!

    You folks are welcome to use anything I've got on the Golden Age site. I'd be honored. Yeah, I'm glad my head is reasonably small - less competition. But I feel like the hats aren't really as common either.

    Thanks for the kind words, all. You guys all helped a lot, believe me. Art, I don't know much about the Wynewood. Howver, here are some photos of the liner: http://public.fotki.com/havershaw/hat_details/wynewood_liner_sweatband-.html...

    cleaning vintage hats

    . I followed your instructions, Art, and it did seem to make a big difference, though I still feel like if I shove my face in there deep enough, there's still a little bit of a smell to it. It's not in the felt; it's the liner and the sweatband. The edge of the sweatband (where it's sewn to...

    Was Bogart a Resistol Man?

    speaking of Resistol... I just finally received an old Resistol fedora today, which I had originally intended to use as a 'beater' hat - but I actually think it's in much, much better shape than it looked in the auction (how often does that happen?). The sweatband, in particular, is one of the...

    Proud owner of a Cavanagh, almost.

    reverse taper ren, it was exactly that reverse taper that me saying "whoa" when I first saw it on eBay. I kind of felt like I'd hogged up a lot of hats on eBay recently, so I passed. Plus, I now have Fedora's size 7 block, and I have a bunch of 'project hats' to work on, so I thought I...
