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.
Just won this Stetson Royal De Luxe.

And for some reason I bought this. I like the ribbon, so I may use the hat as a parts hat, or try to restore it and hide most of the moth bits.

Nice ones, Josh, I really like the Stetson. The Knox 2-tone is interesting.
I had set a bid for the Hat Life Directory of $133, but the snipe never triggered because the bidding 'leaped' over that spot. I chose that price by looking up a current Hat Life Directory - the 2010 version sells for $84 - and then going up 58% for 58 years (2011-1953). So much for my dumb math! I just wanted to 2nd RLK's comment - at $84 in current times, it was unlikely to have been given away free, though it would have been considerably less than $84.
Very nice "catch" Fla. Marlin!
Thanks! Maybe I'll turn it into an upgraded fishing hat!
Nah, it's way too nice for a fishin' hat. Get a beat up OR for that!
