It states it was kept in a vault....I am surprised that Geraldo Rivera did not find it first.

Hes probably the seller...

I think this is the first Stratoliner ever made...... except for the wide ribbon version that Howard Hughes wore. Comes with a removable liner too!
It's a $5000 hat for just $2000 . I'd buy it but i blew all my savings on Al Capone's hat.

Had my head spinning! I learned so much!

 

[Redfokker]

I stopped reading after about the first line. I will have to revisit this listing to learn all I can! There is more learnin' to do, Ebay is a wealth of information!

I messaged the seller. Told them I wanted two. They said they only had one, so I told them to forget it.

Looking at his feedback apparently he sold 2 hats in September.

it takes every fiber of my being to not message these people and tell them how out of their F*#$ing tree they are

I actually just this minute finished a 3 day long text conversation with our buddy Tim who will not budge on a Stratoliner priced quite ridiculously

I offered him something very fair and he swears it is worth hundreds and hundreds more ... I question sometimes if these people want to actually sell anything or if they just want to show what they will keep stored in a closet for years

I applaud you for making the attempt to bring Tim back to earth. I think I know the hat you are talking about..... he will never sell it at the price he is asking.
Unfortunately, this guy says he is using Tim's prices as a guide for setting his own ridiculous prices.

and therein lies the problem in the industry

and yes ... I spoke friendly but frankly with Tim for days ... trying to explain to him that what he has is indeed nothing special to demand a price even close to what he is asking

I made him a more than fair offer because I like him and he has worked fairly with me before

it is a basic late 40s Stratoliner with a cracked sweat ... no special color ... just gray ... basic liner ... everything just basic ... he tells me ..."you and I see the world through different prisms "

indeed we do Tim ... indeed we do

LOL. I saw that last night. Felt the same way.

 

[Redfokker]

Damn, how do I shrink my head? Nice looking hat. Is $200 a reasonable price for this piece?
