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

[jimmy the lid]

That Flagship was a great hat, in a larger size that had not been monkeyed with and an unusual color.

Agreed. As the winner of this lid, I am thrilled. Based on back and forth with the Seller, it appears that the felt is in pristine condition, the sweat is supple and appears to be in great shape, as does the embroidered liner, and the color appears to be "Sage." In fact, it pretty much looks like a match to this 1946 ad for a sage Flagship:

This has been one of my Grail hats, and I feel extremely lucky to have found one in this condition.

Cheers,

Just won this. Took a chance on it: the first pic is horrible quality but the sweatband and liner look promising.

We'll see when it gets here. Looks like an oldie.

I enhanced this photo, can't tell if it's a homburg or a fedora with a tight curl. I'm hoping for the latter.

Way to go JTL! Nice to see you find one of your grails. We are all lucky that any of these are still available in this condition. I also think that most of the hats we talk about on here go cheap!

early '30s homburg I'd say.

Might have to agree after seeing the other hats like it on the previous page of this thread. Not disappointed, either.

I completely agree...anything under $500. is a steal.:eusa_clap

Even the worth of history itself shall be measured at auction.

I say nice win JTL.. When I saw that price, showed it to the Mrs... She almost fainted.. hehehe.. Thanks... It makes my $40 wins on old Dobbs OR clones a whole lot less apt for an ear-chewing about hat expenditures.

But on that Stetson.. I'd say its far beyond just a usable item to keep the noggin warm and protected from rain. A 67 Camaro convertible goes from A to B just like a Prius, but I'd certainly pay more for numbers-matching, all 8 firing, and the top-down. Well done Sir.. Just since I've become a fan here, your collection has never ceased to amaze and impress.

I'm glad it was you that beat my $125 max

[billysmom]

Thank you, sir. The winning bid was actually my maximum bid, so we're in agreement about its ballpark value - to us.

When you go fishing in the Bay you always bring home great catches... but that is one heck of a trophy! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Pour some booze in it and I'll wrestle my dog back for the first drink.

Fantastic hat JtL, it is well worth that price. You are going to look great man!

I took one of the sellers other hats. The 1948ish brown Fedora

Fantastic! I think there are only 5 hats on the Lounge with the Paris 1900 logo and even fewer with the 1915 marking. :eusa_clap

I'm glad to see that you found one of your Grails. I think I speak for many of your fellow Loungers when I say that we can't wait for the ondanoggin shot.
