I did see that, but was actually unsure of the size, is it 7 3/8 - it says 7 3/4 in the desciption. Also is it 7 3/8 UK size or US?

HOMBURG SIZE

Whatto Billy,
If it's mine, then it's 7 3/8, in pounds shillings and pence.
Distributed, by LINCOLN BENNETT, London, I'd say approx 1930, maybe a little earlier, maybe a little later, but not much.
I've had it a while and it is just too big for my 6 7/8 nut, so I will be sticking to my HENRY HEATH.
It's in fantastic condition too, no wear at all.
It's time I let it go, make some room in the cupboard for another, etc, etc,...............

Why not just put a link in your post so we don't have
to hunt it down?

Whatto All.

First off, I thought this was prohibited in the Classified section, for current Ebay auctions, and secondly, I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it.

You can link to YOUR auctions in classifieds, no problem.

Are UK and USA 7 3/8 the same i.e. 23in. or 59cm?

 

[avedwards]

No, 7 3/8 UK is 60 but 7 3/8 USA is 59. One reason why I always quote in metric sizes as it avoids confusion.
