We're having a leadership retreat at work next Friday and the theme is Oktoberfest. So I "needed" a trachten. :rolleyes: I put out the word in the Classifieds, but with the short timeframe I had no luck. (Thanks, for looking for me, Dreispitz.) Found this on eBay, though:

It looks as if it will serve the purpose. Ah, rationalization ........

Nice find. I have a couple Lemberts. The company is out of Augsburg and goes back to 1861. They are still in business although only wholesale and special orders.

After it arrives please post more pics in the German & Austrian thread.

I was fortunate enough to win that pristine beauty. It is my first Borso, I think it will be a good one. I hope I didn't steal it from you J.T. You and your collection have been an inspiration to me.

You got a super hat, and I'm delighted for you. It could be a great investment, too. Prices are climbing fast on those pristine vintage Borsalinos. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Rumor has it that it was some short sailor who is dry docked in Kansas. I can neither confirm or deny.

That would be me. That was exactly my max bid--and without a sniper, either! I figured it would be sniped in the last five minutes, but it wasn't. That's what happens when I'm sitting in a hotel room killing time. :eek: I really, really need to step away from the Bay...

It's only an investment if he's willing to sell it for the profit... and I'm betting he won't want to! It looks to be a fine, fine hat! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers,
Tom

PS Of course, that doesn't stop him from using the investment angle to rationalize buying it if he needs to! lol

Nice snag, Tom. Very sharp looking lid. I'm swearing off the bay too. We'll see for how long. ;)
