Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I'm sure you can restore the patient's good health.

Maybe some hat to head resuscitation will bring the old stiff back.

OH...MY...GAWD!!!

I can't believe your misfortune! So sorry to learn of the demise of your Champ?! I have two pristine "early" versions of Champ stingies -- one in Olive and one in Harmony Tan. I can only try to imagine your plight! :eusa_doh:

I immediately recalled the immortal words of Blues Brothers Joliet Jake:

..."How much for the little girl? Sell them to me. Sell me your children!"

Actually, a little teakettle steam will probably revive it pronto!? [huh]

 

[Pilgrim]

I'm sure the resuscitation efforts will be successful. A hat of that era should have decent rebound ability.

 

[The real Henry]

Some Indy-fans would call that distressing![huh] lol

Update...

Hello America...ahere is an update on an earlier story. Due to the efforts of the hat doctors and the advice of Lounge members The Champ has returned! Yes ladies and gentlemen She has made a full, if not miraculous recovery. Through a process of bubble wrap insertion overnight, steam and a Grand Mariner bottle our beauty is revived. Magus left the hospital with a look of joy and satisfaction at the outcome.
