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

Nice visit from the mailman today.... Got a new ebay brim flange and hatblock in today. Wood is in fabulous condition... both are 7-1/4. I evidently made the only bid and got the pair for $23! Ill try the fedora hat block out on a couple lesser hats Ive got here and see how it works. The block is a center dent , and flange is for a 2-3/4" brim in front and back with a 2-1/2 on the sides. Seems to be an almost perfect fit for the bash on my Akubra Bogart!

Stumbled across this No 1 quality Stetson this afternoon on ebay and couldn't pass it up. I think it may be a candidate for a professional cleaning and restoration.
