LOL if only it were true! I can't get any response from the seller, I don't understand it, he has great feedback. I'm going to give the seller a few more days then withdraw my payment.
I'd give them a few more days dude.....maybe they're on vacation and away for the week, it is summertime. [huh]

I'm really starting to like the look of a side-dent, near cattleman's crease on a hat that looks not at all cowboy. Good score GWD.

Ok, I just got this one. I'm really excited about that I finally got a Whippet.

So ah, did I do good?

Honestly......no, not really, the Whippet is really over rated and you got ripped off. But because I'm such a nice guy....I'll give you $65.00 for it. lol

I could be completely wrong, but this hat looks much, much earlier than the 1920's to me. The crown, edging and ribbon (beaded band) treatment tell me this is 1830's-1880's. Am I wrong? I have no idea.

However, if I'm right, they stole this hat, and it was a bargain.

Here are some points of reference.
Also, look back one page in this thread. They're not the same, but the look is similar.

Awww.....:eek: Thank you Mr. GWD! Did you find that reasonably priced lettering press yet?? (And did you notice the $500 model didn't sell? Though it did have the original paint and was in EXCELLENT condition with the stand....)

Yes, Mr. Lefty, I really like that site and the seller's goods; I've oogled their items for a few years. And what I wouldn't give for a real live cowgirl hat! However, I'm waiting for one of the experts on this thread to pipe up - Mr. Douglas or Mr. Dinerman, for starters to tell me what they thought of the age of that hat.

And Mr. Lefty, I L-O-V-E your new avatar.

I just bought this for my wife. I can't believe the price. The hats from Monte Cristi Customs start at $400. I have no idea what this one would go for. :)

I only wish it was my size!
Though the hat was made for a woman, the ribbon seems to be on the man's side. As I'm paying more for shipping than I'm paying for the hat, I've got no problem shelling out a few more bucks for a little sewing.
