I hope whoever got it thinks it is worth it!
Isn't the size tag a more modern tag (80's or 90's at oldest?). Got plenty of newer beater hats (wool) with that same tag!
The seller sure spent a lot of time putting together the listing (and then skimped on some of the hat pictures)!
That particular seller sure does add a lot of "prose" to his listings. Maybe that's why he got (gets) so much. There have been quite a few items that must be chocked up to bidding frenzy (or whatever it's called when items in not so great condition get fabulous prices). Great for the seller...
I was recently in my local store that has the best selection of hats in town (though it is mostly cowboy, but there are many men's dress as well) and observed a customer trying on a bowler (a lower middle grade wool one--Scala I think---just in case you think they might have Christy's or...

I just did a search in ebay a few days ago for all "Boaters" and "Skimmers" and didn't see this one in the search results---darn--I would have bid on it... I guess it is because it isn't listed in the main description fields as boater or skimmer but was listed under the Style field as a boater...
