They got the slight offset twist of the crown just right.

Ok, I was just toking down on a Romeo Y Julieta when I read that punchline and darn near choked. Cigar Smoke is not supposed to be inhaled!

So, will you award 5 stars?

BTW, My new OR arrived today in a box big enough to hold a Weber Grill.

:eek: $206.50 plus 29.95 shipping :eek:

Ok, the desire for Whippet's is now officially a perverse obsession.

Good job there, MG. What's the brim width on that one?

Is the extra shipping charge for a rectangular offset brim?

Don't forget about the Green Machine!

oh no, I didn't buy that! I stopped at $71.00. I was just shocked at the price.

I was wondering about that Dinerman. Do you think it started life as a 'pie and has been given a teardrop?
I'd say so, that the pinch developed from being taken on and off from the front. There are some porkpie hats that are blocked in a teardrop shape, but this doesn't look like one to me.

Thanks rlk. You guys amaze me with your skills at determining dates. Is there something that pinpoints it to late 50's instead of 60's or is it just a gut feeling based on experience?
The brown sweatband points at '50s. The color liner says late '50s or '60s. The style was relatively short lived, mid-late '50s through the early '60s.

Many thanks for that Dinerman. In that case I may need to think about returning it to its original shape when it arrives. I don't yet have a porkpie in the collection.

Thanks for the dating info too. I appreciate your insights on what to look for. So I guess that makes it one of the rarer styles out there. Even better!

That is a wonderful, larger size Whippet, but it's not green, it's grey. Congrats, mg!

I mean to warn you Mr. HarpPlayer that I am a man of faith....

and I mean to remain skeptical......
