eBay Fedora STEAL

[Marc Chevalier]

.

Now it's my turn to crow about an eBay hat "steal". Got a top-grade MALLORY from the 1930s. Only one bid: mine. And it's a lightish grey

A bit of steaming on a #52 block, and it'll be good to go.

[Dinerman]

great hat. wild blue lining!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Thank you, Lincsong and Dinerman! I was on pins and needles with this one. The auction had 99 views, so I expected at least one bid against mine. Lucked out this time

[Lincsong]

Perhaps we can get a picture of it on your noggin and not Helmuts.lol Where's Mrs. Chev?

 

[Dinerman]

and if she wont, mail me the hat. I'll... um... take pictures of it... yeah... take pictures

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Perhaps we can get a picture of it on your noggin and not Helmut's.lol

Okay, okay -- I'll take a photo of it with me inside, Douglas-style.

[Lincsong]

Preferably in the sunlight.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

And no dark sunglasses, promise.

.

 

[Dinerman]

good.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

And without a cigar, either :cool2:

[Nick Charles]

I almost bid on that. (kicking self)

[Lincsong]

NO cigar? How about holding a tommy gun?lol

 

[Marc Chevalier]

That'll work.

[Lincsong]

While standing in front of the PT Cruiser.lol

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Yeah, my totally fake retro wheels. I'll need a plastic tommygun, then.

Anyway, the fedora has the words Fifth Avenue 'Supreme' stamped into the sweatband. Sounds promising. I'm hoping this means that it was one of Mallory's top-of-the-line models.

[Lincsong]

Or take one with an old microphone like you're selling at "Honest Chev's Chrysler-Desoto-Plymouth"

Sounds like you got the DEAL of Day on E-Bay.
