That one looks very nice, Lefty, definitely post some head shots when you get it.

That'll teach me not to snipe!

:arated:

Great looking crown shape and very interesting brim.

 

[Lefty]

Thanks guys. I didn't snipe, I just bid in the last 10 seconds.
This one is very similar in style to the Chamois I sold a few years ago. I still don't know if I can pull off the look, but the price was too good to pass up.

That looks nice too, but the colour on this new one looks great.

 

[Lefty]

I think both are black, my old Chamois photo is just overexposed.

Nice buy, Lefty. I saw that poorly listed hat and would have been on it if it had been my size. :eusa_doh:

Say, Lefty, what's the deal with that Knox box with a Stetson hat? Were they collaborating, or is the box just a substitute? I was confused about that and figured the seller didn't know. Congratulations, I forgot to say. Such rough manners!

 

[Lefty]

Hats and boxes almost never belong together. Unless you've got one of those boxes that has a description of the hat inside written right on it, you'll almost never know whether they started out together. Here, it's just a box that someone put the hat in somewhere down the line.

and thanks.

Nice hat but crazy shipping price.

 

[Lefty]

I was going to try to swoop in on this one for $5 in the last seconds, but it jumped a bit, so I let it go.

Congratulations! absolutely gorgeous. I watched that one without bidding, because it was clear from the start that this would go for far more than I could pay for it-- but had a great time watching you all climb up there! I know nothing about the brand, but that hat is radiant.

Here is an interesting set of auctions Ward Kimball who was one of the orginal artist's for Walt Disney.

Created a series of hats using Boater hats as the base hat. Well two of them are up for Auction on eBay.

Here they are:

The Baby hat.

Thanks, you can see a little more about this brand hat in the MacLachlan hats thread. Not a lot of them have turned up. This one already displaced a Mallory Ten on my daily wearer hatrack.
