Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[ofcoursemyhorse]

My apologies to I believe MiamiBruno on this last second snag, but I've seen a few of these hats by this maker pop up before and I didnt want to lose out on this one. It was actually made in a shop in San Francisco, just about an hour south of where I live.

I've seen an ad as late as 1955 for Personality Exclusive hat stylists in a newspaper but im not sure how much longer it survived after that.

regardless it looks like a fantastic long hair finish in a great color combo, cant wait for it to arrive.

How abt some more pics when I get it? Its beautiful.

When *you* get it? I'm confused. Pretty sure I won that one.

That's a gorgeous hat, OCMH!

OCMH, I am really liking the style myself. Love the velour and other less common finishes. Speaking of which, that one you just scored is sweet. The color of the felt is amazing. Hope it's as enjoyable in person as it looks like it will be.

Ahhh Horse, you're the one

 

[RJR]

Super catch.

I knew it had to be someone on here I swooped in on. I promise if it ever ends up in the for sale section you can have it for your highest bid.

40. Cal that Zephyr weight is something else. The ribbon, the sweatband, the vent holes are just fantastic touches.

This will be my second journey into "The Fray"

We must have the same taste in hats, Horse. I looked at that Fray for a while but decided to let it go. Enjoy them both.

I am waiting for this to arrive, just could not help but grab it for Daniel. I will try to have Tonyb do some work on it, as the white ribbon is just too much "Al Capone"

Very nice old Fray!

Hello Cindy!
How is Daniel? Long time no news.
I would keep the ribbon. It's almost invisible.

I like the ribbon color also.
