Not me...
Hummmmm......
Saw that. Someone must have really wanted a Whippet box.
Ebay is a crazy place. It seems the days of finding a gem for low bucks are waning. I didn't think that box and a ho-hum OR would go that high.Yeah, I figured at least 35%-40% of that bid was the box.

A nice 40's OR in a popular size and a good condition box for an ultra popular hat. $200 for the hat $120 for the box. Seems reasonable to me. I think someone got a fair deal. Just my opinion though....I like 40's OR's a lot and could really use a Whippet box! haha
The hat was a 40's RSD, thin ribbon with a thin bound edge. I will lay odds the words Open Road do not appear anywhere on that hat. Still a nice hat.
I must be the odd man out here because that price does not seem all that crazy to me

They look like it, feel like, and maybe even smell like it but it's not an OR if it doesn't say so.
I don't think it's crazy, either. It is a little steep for a box, but the law of supply and demand can't be ignored. You just don't see Whippet boxes that often. And in that condition, apparently with inserts, it's going to get top dollar.

I don't own one of these 40's RSD's that look very much like OR's. The fact that it isn't marked OR makes it more valuable to me. haha. I wish I could have won that auction!
there is a hat that sold as well, no ?
