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

This is a hilarious German eBay auction for a so called "old synthetic hat block for milliners - round 56 cm".
Ofcourse it is complete nonsense ... I know exactly what it really is :)
Who else can recognize the true purpose of this "poor man's hat block" ?

Looks like a hanging flower pot without the chains. The holes in the bottom are for drainage.

Obviously it’s one of those PhD level ball in the hole games.
You put 8 little ballbearings in there then get em in the holes.

Toughest time I have ever had letting go of a hat, but I'm trying to live a new philosophy of offering up all of my inventory for sale. It's a problem that has kept me from being successful as an antique dealer, but I've had a lot of fun.
Scott....i can’t imagine how tough that was. What a sports icon, the 51 Yankees, probably the most famous baseball team of all time, and a super rare hat to boot. Just WOW!!

Murderer's Row and the Big Red Machine would like a word with you.

It's still a Yankees hat. And it's been banished out of the country.

Nah. It will just spend some of its golden years in a place with decent weather. It will be coming back with me when I retire. :)

Any thoughts on where you'll retire?

We should have a whole thread on this question.... we've been looking at something closer to Ecuador, like Texas, Florida..... who knows, we might actually end up living in Manta or Cuenca to be closer to family.... and Panama (Ecuador) HATS!
