1940's Stetson 3X 7 1/8 - **moved to ebay**

[ScottF]

I started a bunch of hat auctions on ebay today, including a 1940's Portis Sterling Open Road style, a 1950's Penney's Marathon OR-style, a couple of Cavanaghs, a nice Dobbs Gamebird, and some others of various ilk:

I also have two 1940's Stetsons (7 1/8 and 7 1/4) for trade. The 7 1/8 is GORGEOUS and minty, but a hair small, and I'm not going to damage by stretching. The other fits me, but looks dopey. I would rather trade for hats of similar value, only because I hate pricing hats here at more than I paid, and I got ridiculous deals on these.

Here's where I posted regarding the 7 1/4. It has a shorter brim, and needs a good brushing/cleaning, but is plush:

and here are other comments in the thread (just scroll down past the pics)

Here's the 7 1/8 that is in pristine condition. It's a big 7 1/8, but not a 7 1/4. It's a little more of a taupe color than the pics show.

No interest in either of the Stetson's pictured? If you're thinking about a trade for either, please P.M. today; otherwise, I'll either put on ebay, or re-post here with a pricetag on each. Thanks

...Also, I hate to do this, but I'm not hearing back from people who either made deals or proposed deals for other hats, so given the absence of payments and communication, those hats will be sold. Hopefully this won't cause any ill regard, but my place is small and filled with hats, and my gf has given the hats eviction orders.

I am watching your ebay items and would be curious on a price for the above 7 1/8th...

Hi Belegnole, I've taken that one off the market and will indicate that in the thread title. I really wanted to trade it for something nice, but less formal. If I put a price on it, rather than ebay it, I have one potential buyer I've promised it to, but will contact you after that.

Sorry about taking it off the market.

No problem

Here are the new pics, which are much closer to the color of the hat. Two people requested prices, so I'll wait to hear back from the first, then Belignole. If neither is interested, my price is $135 shipped. If that doesn't work, I'm putting about five hats on ebay tomorrow night, and I'll include this one.

I apologize in advance if my price isn't in line - I can only compare this hat to others I have, and it's one of the best, certainly in the best condition out of any I've had from the 1940's.
