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

[Bushman]

Just bought my dream hat: an original Herbert Johnson Poet! And for a steal of a price, too! For $280 shipped, I actually scored for less than some of the higher end repros!

Bummer. You would have rocked that one!

It looked another version of Big Country model.

Did a lounger grab this one? I was in up to $150, but that hole in the crown kept me from going all in.

That is really nice! I would be happy too. I was outbid last night on one like it, but different size. I hope someone here got it. Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing more of it.

Thanks DD. Sorry you missed out on yours. I got this one by $1.50. Good thing the auction ran out of time. Whew!

Ooh, looks like the embroidered liner! Nice catch.

I was afraid this would go higher, but I'm not sure the liner is correct for the period.

LOL. She probably would, but she's better than I deserve so...

Nice catch. That hat has lived in a Borsalino shipping box for a long time. Wonder if the seller has the box too? It will take some patience and steam to prepare for wear.

Ha! I think you're right! Felt for year 10, yeah that's the ticket! I actually have a custom on order for her, but I'm not sure it will be ready in time.
