Well...

I hesitated a few seconds because of the size (my noggin 7 1/4) but knew it would go fast. Turns out the seller emailed me that he listed the wrong size, found the tag, it's a 7 1/8. Plenty of crown/brim for a mild stretch.

I don't feel so bad now. Whew!

:arated:
Thanks Vic!
I feel lucky too now, er, Mr. Lucky! I was gonna be on that like a duck on a junebug. Instead I dodged a bullet. Thanks for the 411, both of ya'll!

Don't ask me why but I had to have this Mallory Homburg. I don't like the front pinch but overall the hat looked good. I been wanting to take the Homburg plunge and this one also looked old to me and was sold by a store my mom used to go to in the 1930s when she was a kid living in St. Louis. Unfortunately, it went higher than I had originally planned but I got caught up in bidding fever - always a bad thing.

Yes a bit high, but you got yourself a very nice Homburg, plus from the store your mom use to go to, it was your opportunity to own it. Congrats! :eusa_clap

Hopefully someone here got it AND shares. I really hate to see these turn up and then all that info disappears....

Boy the listing itself was a great read I can image what the whole book will be like. Great stuff and I can see why it sold for so high. Though it was a give away that every one in the hat business recieved every year I am sure.
