    What is your vintage dream purchase??

    How to escape Depression...or not. OK, what is the origin of this Time Machine? I want one! (Does Sharper Image have these featured in their GOB sale?) So I can go back to 1937 ("Oh. Really?" She commented, with raised eyebrow.) and buy a new Cord. As long as I can make it a round-trip.

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

    The second one is very clean but not shown to advantage and the description could have been much improved. A Clear Beaver Quality Open Road should have gone for over $100.00. If it was a larger size, it would [probably] have gone for over $200.00. Heck, if I even thought I could wear either...

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

    Even with some moth nibbles on the back of the crown, this one is a beauty. A nice buy at $77.99. Even when the seller knew that this one was Clear Beaver Quality, they chose to list it as a "VINTAGE STETSON 7X BEAVER OPEN ROAD FEDORA LBJ HAT". They wrote that a buyer could clearly see...

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

    randooch, With shipping, all three hats came to $144.70 or an average cost of $48.23 per hat. Not too bad. There are certainly more good buys in my size (7 5/8) than usual. I kind of like the rumpled look of that Dobbs as well. It will be interesting to see how it looks in the...
