44 freaking grand?! Good lord, couldn't the winner just do cocaine like anyone else who has too much money?

It's a charity auction:

New here, enjoying the wealth of info. I've been looking for an awesome vintage bowler. Just bought one off ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321321244818

May have paid too much with the UK shipping but I love the lining. Any info on this hat is appreciated. Kind of wondering how old it is?

Looks in great condition. They're difficult to date, but it's probably late 40's possibly early 50's from the logo.

Here is a pict of the lining.

I saw a posting here saying that if the label says R.A. Dunn vs Just Dunn & Co is probably 30s or older but who knows.

The full G A Dunn & Co name disappeared in the late 50's. I'm 90% certain your bowler is no older than 40's from the combination of sweat and liner, but in terms of construction there's little difference in quality between the 30's and 50's hats

Excellent, thanks for the input!

I won this yesterday listed as A Stetson Open Road, sold by Harry the Hatter in Vancouver

Got it for £11.02 so under $20 which I though was a good deal
It has a surface moth bite, and some marks but give it a steam and a clean see how it comes out
