[RBH]

This is one of those post that does not add much,but I just had to go ahead and post it.
I wonder what this guy will think when he gets all these views!

By the way, I have no idea who he is [and did not say he could use it] but I do know where he found the photo!!!!

LOL, funny. I saw that auction yesterday and thought there was some sort of strong resemblence to Rusty!

 

[HatsEnough]

Is the picture of a lounger or something? I am a bit confused by everyone going nuts over it.

 

[Tomasso]

Is the picture of a lounger?

Yes.
The seller is either lacking a camera or posting skills.

 

[fluteplayer07]

That's really funny, actually. lol

 

[Neophyte]

lol lol lol

 

[bowlerman]

Ha! that is funny.

Well, Rusty, did you ever expect to be posted on the bay?

 

[Oldsarge]

Upland, California. I know that town. It's got the most gorgeous collection of early twentieth century bungalows. You might even find a place like the Lounge there, though it is a might warm for Golden Age dress in the summer.

The lid in the auction might actually be something decent. It's most likely from A&F's Oshman's era. Nowhere near the quality stuff as the original outfit, but not too shabby. Still, hard to take a flyer sight unseen.

Is the picture of a lounger or something?...

nah. I think it's Dr. Gene Scott, isn't it?!

 

[Warbaby]

I got a laugh from the description of the "perverated band for venilation"...

Here's what the seller had to say when I asked about the FL photo and the hat listed:

I do not know any thing about Fedora Lounge I purchased the photo from a photo studio site none the less my compliments to the photogragher and take it as a compliment. I am not very shady!I just could not get a good shot at that hat because the color is xo light. I often buy photos when I cannot get a good shot. Hats off to you!

She/he? actually answered twice, the first time saying:

It is the same exact hat but that is not where I got the phito.


- emeraldeyedleah66

Rusty - just how many "phito" studios are you modeling for down there?

 

[Tomasso]

Rusty - just how many "phito" studios are you modeling for down there?

Just one other........

 

[Mario]

"The model, his cigar, the Indiana Jones suitcase and props are not included."

Good to know! lol

The whole listing - and the replies frussel posted - makes a rather boozed impression. What's a Panana hat?

 

[hatophile]

Dude, you're famous!

 

[Sam Craig]

Isn't that false advertising, or bait and switch?

I mean they put this incredible, irrestible model there ... just to make the hat look great ... and then the fine print says the model ISN'T even FOR SALE?

What a rip!

I wonder how much it would cost to include that model?

At least we can dream.

(Just joking, Rusty!)

...

So somebody is SELLING bootleg copies of a photo of Rusty in a pith helmet to unsuspecting hat sellers? ebay has totally hit the bottom for sure!!!

 

[Feraud]

I am not very shady!

- emeraldeyedleah66

At least the seller is honest in claiming to only being somewhat shady..

 

[Ordinary Guy]

So he/she often buys photos... Very interesting since he/she only has two Feedback posted and they are for buying ,, This is the first time selling with that name.....
