Yeah, there's something about it that I like too.Not highend but I was attracted to the straw /weave and shape.
Very nice--of course likeliest dating is around 1942 or slightly earlier(Sofia bombardment was worst in late '43 and'44) Could have sat in shop for some time or last shipments out of Italy in '43
before Italy invaded or bombed.
Old Habig Catalog - 42pp.

A few I picked up recently.
Medium brown wide brim P. & C. Habig (60-61cm). Poor photos but probably pretty nice. I am thinking 1960s.
Please tell me someone here got this pair:
Bulgarian Borso 2
...and thank you. I was trying to rationalize buying these all afternoon & just couldn't, tho I dunno how much longer I could have not.

I got this one, and it arrived today. I haven't had time to take pics of it yet, but it's gorgeous. Much to my shock, it's beaver felt! And in very, very good shape. It's a tad too large for me, but I'll live with it. When I first saw it on Ebay, I realized it would disappear within half an hour, so I did the "buy it now." This is the only great find I've ever scored on the Bay:

Damn! How does that happen, an auction gets cancelled? Seems underhanded somehow.
WELL DONE! What a beaut'!
