    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Marc: Thanks. The 2" brim likely deterred many bidders, but I think the hat's proportions, with its tall, un-tapered crown, are very attractive, the very archetype of late '20s-'30s fedoras. Ed: Thank you, and good sleuthing! Steve: Looks to be a very nice hat. Randall...
