Happy Birthday! Glad I resisted temptation on that one.

Thanks! I had a tough time laying off that Cavanagh as well.

Good ol' John Cavanagh. That's the one. There is no patent number on the clip, but it matches the design seen in Fig. 6. I'm not convinced it really holds the ends of the sweatband together, but the seam is taped, so it seems to be mainly for decoration.

I don't think we've seen these clips on other Hat Corporation of America brands of the period, so it appears Cavanagh kept them exclusive to his own hats.

Fabulous hat, Robert.

I picked up this Borso as a birthday present to myself. I've always wanted to see a roll-up close-up:

I was third. Got snipped after putting my bid in the last few seconds. :(

If it makes you feel any better, I sniped at 5 seconds (as I always do). If I bid 'manually', it's also at 5 seconds. The result is exactly the same.

My snipe was $126 and I didn't expect to win.

I bid less than that at 5 seconds so I suffered two mortal shots:kick: If it doesn't fit you and then Michaelshane, please let me know.:eek:

I've seen much worse. I figure 10 minutes with a sponge and five minutes with a steamer and it'll be good as new. I never pass on a 7x if the size is close and the price is reasonable- they make every stratoliner, every whippet look like junk in comparison.
