1913 Dunlap Top Hat, Extra Quality Beaver, Size 7 3/8, with original Leather Case. Original owner traced back to William A. Lancaster, Minneapolis attorney, judge, and bank director. Founding partner of Dorsey and Whitney, LLP. See ebay listing for interesting story on tracking this hat to its original owner.

Hat is in great condition. Hat is not a Long Oval--else I would be keeping it :) Case shows the wear expected of something that has been around for nearly a century--but it has done its job of protecting the hat! Many more pictures in the listing.

Good point--my wife and I were discussing that the other night. Should at least notify them with an email, I think.

Didn't receive a reply from the firm.

The EBAY auction for this hat ends this evening. I also have a Borsalino Nutria up for grabs.

(BArtender note: Please do NOT use "OFAS." Thanks)

Top Hat

Do you still have that top hat? I'm one of its former owners. I sold it last year after a layoff and I really really miss that hat. I'd like to buy it back if possible.

Crikey!

When I first saw this posting as I was going through the classifieds, I initially feared my wife was selling my hats while I was out of country!!!

I work on Camp Eggers and actually walk past the USACE compound on the way to Falcon House each day. It's amazing the dust that I brush off my hat over here! I guess you wouldn't be surprised, having been here. lol
