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

[Brad Bowers]

That's a great graphic, Brad. Say, how do you know how many ads they made? Is there a book delineating them?

To identify them, I searched through the Saturday Evening Post at the library a while back.

Fantastic detective work!

I am now only two ads away from having all 14 of the Anderson Knapp-Felt ads from 1929-1930. I feel like a kid collecting baseball cards. lol

Almost there now ... :cheers1:

There's what seems to be a badly listed/described Stetson Playboy II on ebay right now. Could be a deal for those of you with a 7 3/8 noggin.

That's the second one of those I've seen, there was one up about this time last year, but with a dark wood surround.

I bought this madison my first Stetson, really happy with it it's in good shape

Man oh man, did I get lucky. A 1920s cloche for only 30 bucks! I can't believe I got it so cheap. I was sure that the bidding would have went up to 100 or over:

It's always just too exciting to get a great deal. That's why ebay can be addictive!

That looks like a smashing hat - congratulations!

Ms. Smoothie, you must be getting quite a collection of cloches!

 

[CaramelSmoothie]

Ms. Smoothie, you must be getting quite a collection of cloches!

Yes, I need to count the number that I have now. Slowly but surely building my collection.

Yes, I'm sure there's room for more!

I'm tempted to go for this for the pug' alone!

Just "won" this last night. My first "vintage" hat. Did I pay too much? I don't know, but I do know it is the most magnificent looking hat I have ever seen.

Can't wait for it to show up!

That's a beauty for sure. He seems to be a good (very descriptive and open) and fair seller from what I have seen. He sure is getting rid of a bunch of nice lids. I would have paid what you did if it were a 7 3/8.

Given current Stetson prices for Sovereigns & this is a nice mode edge Stetson Twenty Sovereign, I say you did well! Congrats.
If it was a 7 5/8, I don't think $247 would have been enough to win the auction...

Congrats on that Stetson, bro. I'm pretty sure you'll love it! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Make sure to post a few pics over at the Green Machine thread once it has arrived!

That's true. There's even a pretty decent price jump from 7 1/4 to 7 3/8. I often buy the 7 1/4 hoping I can stretch them but it doesn't always work for me. That's one reason why I have been selling so many 7 1/4 hats (they are usually the one's I bought and couldn't get to work)
I lost both of these by $1 last night-
Champ
Beat Up Whippet
I know - it was probably more than $1 - I have no idea how high they would've gone. But I was still 2nd.
