About insurance...The post office told me you have to have proof of the value of the object.They will let you insure it for any amount you want,but good luck collecting.

I thought I could see a crack in your hat.I think when they are that old they are very fragile.I really baby mine.

HarpPlayerGene said:Graham at Optimo said the repair would be to backstop the breaks. A patch of sorts from the inside. If that were done, and the areas burnished down, they would all but disappear from the outside view.
That makes sense,I didn't speak to Graham but to the person who answers the phone.That would be better than living with the open breaks.One of my panamas is over 900 wpsi,I might get that one rebuilt.
