Well... it wouldnt be yer first!!!!

I am sooo hoping they are twins!! lol

Yeah, I think you might be right. It's a much more popular size. What I really really want isn't likely to float along in the Bay anyway.

If I can sell one or two more of my costume items on Etsy, I'll have enough to buy another Fed IV before the exchange rates get too high.

They are tipping AUD 1= USD1 or higher by Christmas FWIW.

From my observation, I expect that 1-1 to hit well before Christmas

At first glance it does look a little crazy,....however; as a former SASS member and shooter, that was a steal.

The folks who buy those hats for the most part know very little about shaping or fixing up an old hat. They're looking for an old beat up western "motion picture' hat".
The more beat up and "B" western it looks the better.

Back when I was hot and heavy into it, I would have paid a couple of hundred bucks for that hat in a heart-beat.

Just swap 'lionel' for 'triang hornby' and 'baseball' for 'cricket' - and I'm right there with ya!
