With the COVID lockdown I never went to the ‘bay with this. Let’s try it here again at the $125 shipped to the continental USA price. Foreign shipping would vary. Thanks for looking.

Interested. Are the dimensions same as in the 50's ad? (5 7/8" telescope with 3.5" brim)

Bob, thanks for the photos and measurements. Let me run this by my old man as he would be the one wearing it in AZ.

Has your Dad had a chance to look at it yet? Let me know if you (or he) have any questions or need more photos.

 

[Garrett]

Sorry for the delay, Bob. Padre has opted to go with a straw for the time being. Tucson got up to 108 today. We'll see if he changes his mind in the winter though
