Just bought this beaver blend Swann Hats Gay Prince clone. Hopefully it is as nice as the seller states. I wasn't able to find a lot of info on Swann here but looks like an interesting hat.

Looks like EBay has been quiet for a few weeks.

I almost passed on this one due to condition…. WHAT was I thinking??!? One of my favorite brands in an unusual color combo… AND a project… for a ridiculously low BIN? This ‘V’allory as it was listed is now on its way.

Beautiful color combo on that one, Joe. Will you do the work yourself? Try and fill those holes? I look forward to seeing the results! ;)

Thanks David. yes.. it’s fun to try and clean these up. I’m not terribly concerned with the patch of nibbles under the brim. But it sure looks like a hole clear through on the crown. Wouldn’t have too much to loose to try out some techniques Robert and others have posted on here.

Here we go again!!! Good thing this was a project/beater! One of these days they are gonna do this to me on a rare straw or bowler and I won’t be so OK with it.

Good News though.. what I was assuming was a hole clear through the felt of the crown is actually some stuck on crud. Might be able to clean up! Won’t have to put my attempted hole filling skills to the test.
