Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[Mr E Train]

<---The hat in my avatar, letting it go in the classifieds because it's too small. Marked 7 3/4 but really more like 7 1/4.

Puny heads have all the luck!:rage: Beautiful hat Blixa00 at an unbelievable price. My wife has the same head size so she has better hats than I at about 1/5 the price.

Congratulations, it's a nice looking hat! You didn't snipe me, but your snipe was somewhat higher than my snipe was going to be. Post here with better pictures when it arrives.

Right here.

Nice Strat Flute...I got one recently that had a similar green patina in the same place, I thought it might have had something to do with the size tag as I have seen more than a few with that greenish hue!
Danofodarlington...I never asked about brim size on the Resistol but I "guesstimated" that it would be in the 2 1/2" range based on the general proportions of the hat. I'll let you know when it arrives!

I've been collecting ads for hats from old newspapers, especially a lot of Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, for about 6 months.
I will eventually be able to scan them all and share the ads - but not sure when yet.

Looking forward to seeing them!

Nice, congratulations!

Thanks, all.

New?

Quite a high ticket on that one!

Here's a nice Baku with a wonderful granite patterned pug. I didn't bid because I'm all out of Nuclear Bombs for the time being. Looks like the winner didn't get too bloodied.

Holy BaKu Batman!

Just won this vintage (hopefully) straw on eBay. Was wondering if anyone here had any info on WRIGHTS company?

Looks like a good buy, but not sure it's '20s as advertised in the auction

Wow, great ad! Thanks for that link!

My first Knox Twenty

Just got this one in the mail today and I love it. The condition is better than most all the hats I have, and I think it has to be older than any of my other hats. Yeah, I paid a fair amount for it, but I really wanted it and I'm not sorry. This will surely be my getting dressed up and going out hat.

Looks like a good buy to me - well done!

 

[feltfan]

Uh, less than $75 for a really nice Knox Twenty? That's a steal.
Is that sweat band really gray? Cool.

 

[KevKaos59]

Yep, now that I have felt this hat, I'm about ready to dump most of my other hats. I guess you just can't look back. It's like I've had an epiphany.

Don't fret, there is always a use for a hat fallen from favor.

Looks like Johnny Fedora. I wonder where Alice Bluebonnet is?
