Decided to give this 30's Ivory Sportster a shot. Thanks for the heads-up, Josh!

That one looks nice, Garrett. But it's a "bowler"!

purty.

(for that price I figured I'd give it a shot)

(I'm going to have the braided band replaced with gosgrain)

I'm not sure if the guy labeled right or wrong, but heads up, Lana means wool, still some nicely priced hats.

My latest score, I hope it gets here by Monday, so that i can wear it Tuesday for the 1887 (125 anniversary/ employee celebration).

I also picked up this size 6 Point Wilke Melone from the same seller.

That's a beauty!

I have a great Nikon my wife got me for Christmas a couple of years ago but since I got my iPhone I don't use it anymore. I've taken and posted some great pictures on here and they've all been from my phone.

Nice pic, the cigar makes it!

I picked up this gray Mayser Velour. I am thinking this one could be an old one (pre 1940) so very rare. Looking forward to its arrival.

Reminds me of the Lock & Co label... and Bates as well.

 

[newturnofphrase]

Bought this one a couple days ago. Looks mint, probably 1970s or 80s given that it has the old label inside.

Edit: also, this appears to be the 2000th page of posts. That's a lot of hats! I think you guys are single-handedly keeping eBay in business.

IMHO that would be a major mistake. It is rare to come across a pre 40s (I think it is older than 1930s) Alpine style hat. Also Lana wool.

Interesting! Thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks!

Congrats on the gray Lock & Co. Topper!

Yeah, I did a search on LANA before bidding. I wanted it mostly for the age.

I may take your advice on that. Thanks for the opinion. I guess we will see when the hat arrives.

That should be perfect for that party!

Now here is hoping it gets here on time. Thanks to you and Bowlerman for the encouragement to go with a homburg it will be my first, and it was a steal.

Do you ever come across large (7 5/8 US) vintage German melone? I'm interested in getting one.

Yep....A steal!! Bet the seller never thought it would stay under the radar when he posted the low starting bid.

Hope he's not a slow motion shipper and you get it in time.

Looking forward to this Borso
