Mayser Homburg

I just won this old gray Mayser Homburg on a tip by Mario. It is supposedly a rare size 62 cm so I will put it up for sale. It has some staining on the bottom that I can hopefully fix but other than that looks to be in very good condition.

Fedora of German Orgin?

Also picked up this 59 cm German made (?) black Fedora with dark blue pattern ribbon. Supposedly in never worn condition.

Won this Penny's Marathon last night for 25.00. His shipping fee was a mistake. Actually about 10.00. Can someone date this? Also, I never had to clean a hat before. How's it done?

Somebody got a nice big Borsalino OR-style for a good price. I was watching it, but I got so busy with household chores today that I just plain forgot about it. Needs some reshaping and cleaning, but otherwise very nice.

Fifty three bux...:eusa_doh: I never wanna hear a fat-head whine again about how difficult it is to find vintage, man oh man that's a great score!

Steve - I kept watching this, hoping it would be you who'd win it. Great score! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

To me those marks on the bottom look like moth tracks rather than staining. Who knows? [huh]

Yes that could end up being the case. I am looking forward to taking a closer look.

Could have waited and perhaps saved some money but I really liked this one.

Super Barbisio

[mayserwegener]

I was watching that Barbisio. What do you think on the dating? I was thinking 60s maybe early 70s.

I haven't seen the liner or size tag before. The crown and brim seem larger than typical for that time range although that would otherwise be my guess. Could be a mid 50's.[huh]

Yes it has a older look to it. The size tag looks similar to a Botta (Swiss / Italian) hat I have.

I like the ashtray, RLK. Nice find ...
