[RJR]

Second one is a minty Stetsonian.

Nice.

Think someone got what appears to be a nice Adams straw in my size for like $40.00

I'm going to be regretting having let this one slip through my hands for some time. I had the trigger finger poised, but had convinced myself I had already exceeded my monthly hat budget and shouldn't play last night. That, and I truly thought it would go for a bit more.

Woulda been a good get. (sigh)

Maybe I should buy myself a hat as consolation...wait, what?!

Hah! Talk about blowing the budget! That thing's going to rake in some cash, I think. We're planning a vacation in May, so I have to be conservative for awhile. Because, after all, there are antique stores where we're going. I might find a nice hat!

Plus, that eBay seller is a little shady, I heard. Although he will sometimes just randomly send you a nice hat.

Just funnin' ya Bruno! You're tops in my book, you know that !
(and no, I'll never let that Whippet thing go. Never!)

Hahahahahaha. I had to go back and look at the seller. Recognize the name...

Ditto! At the last second I decided to pass. woke up this morning and saw what it went for and kicked myself.

That one is interesting! It's a fairly early one (early / mid 1950s?). Did anyone here get it? I would like to see more details.

And here I was hoping you got it and I could talk you out of it.

 

[moehawk]

That Tonak will be seen here soon on my head. I was thrilled that it didn't go for anywhee near my max bid.

Hey. Hey!! Defamation of character! If I had any, it would have been defamed.

 

[Miamibruno]

Alan, are you saying it may not be 30's? I was going off the white sweat and the production tag with the sideways Borsalino name. Is it later?

 

[moehawk]

Oh, and I think thst the little Brunt's slump-buster I bought got me my moe-jo back!

 

[Frunobulax]

OK. I feel a bit better that you got it.

Let me know if you get tired of it.

I have some early Tonaks but my focus is JHS (JHS became / nationalized as Tonak after WWII).

That Tonak will be seen here soon on my head. I was thrilled that it didn't go for anywhee near my max bid.

Great! It's really difficult to get a handle on these earlier Tonaks. As you can see the liner logo is not complete and roughly stamped. The logo is similar to this Tonak Plant Hückel "Lutra" of mine.

You will be first on the list.
But, I see many a Seal Velour Sunday ahead, as well as some Saturdays, and naybe occasionlly a Monday through Friday...

Tim is the man ... I am forced to believe that he does this expressing a dark type of comedy

maybe a little bit of an Andy Kaufman approach to eBay
