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

The auction's back up with corrections. The seller mis-listed it as a 7-1/2. It's a 7-1/4 if you look at the size tag.

Yours truly caught that one and contacted the Seller. Seller never responded to me, but apparently has corrected the situation. A modest honorarium from any Lounge winner (size 7 1/4) would be gratefully accepted and applied to a round of libation...

Cheers,
JtL

I saw the "0" bids indicating no bidders.. But the 7 1/4 just made me tear up. Too small.. Darn-it! Darn-it all to Heck! (watching too much Madagascar with the kids ya know)

Haha - well, she offered to sell it to me when I mentioned that I had a snipe in.

I too told them of the error and they did not respond. TLH

Oh, sure you did. Hey -- quit tryin' to horn in on my honorarium!

I have a brain full of endless cheesy quotes from about every kid movie going right now. Whether I like it or not.

OK, you're right, I lied.

Well, alright, then. I guess I can quit grumbling. At least I didn't really miss a steal.

You are a huge beer moocher! Nice win on the Flagship. I saw the size, had to watch it...

What's your point?

So, who made 100s? Here are the ones I've either seen or read about here:

Stetson
Resistol
Cavanagh
Knox
Dobbs

Any others?

After JtL's Dobbs 100 win, I posed the question above. Examples of the Stetson 100 are all over the Lounge, there are a couple of Cav 100s, JtL's got the one Dobbs, and I'm not sure about the Resistol. I found one photo of the Knox 100 (sorry, no shots of the sweat and liner), and then discovered, though without a photo, that there was a Lee 100.

The Knox

This was a very surprising snipe win. I wanted the Mode Edge for restoration, but figured bidding on the Strat would kill my chances.

ebay Strat and Mode Edge

These just arrived. Strat is purple and just needed a brushing - other than reed wear, interior was perfect. The other hat is an aqua 'suede finish' 3x with an underwelt (7 3/8). Also, a near-perfect sweatband and nice liner, but it had an ancient porkpie crease that I still haven't gotten out, and needs a new ribbon/bow. Very floppy, comfortable hat.

Both have a crispy clear cover over the liner logo. Both seem to be from about 1950.

Also, both were owned by Dr. E.I. Varvel, a Colorado dentist who passed in 1960.

You're getting good at this, Scott.

What's this? Some kind of Stratoliner mating ritual ???

You certainly were fortunate with this one! I love the aqua - can't wait to see what you do with it!

Thanks CRH, Sue.

CRH - I have two pins, so what the heck!

Sue, I also love the aqua one, but I don't think it's going to turn out all that special - this hat had dirt encrusted in the underwelt and left a layer of dirt on the table after cleaning. It's currently on a full-size wooden stretcher with the top soaked to hopefully get out some of the creasing, but we'll see.

In any event, it is soft and floppy, and feels fantastic on my head, so it's a keeper.
