OK, I'm not into posting live ones, but this is just nuts. I suspect some shilling but, if not, these two guys are amazing.
just 2 bidders, constantly one-upping each other for this 25 OR

Wow. My size even. Maybe I'll bid 200 in case they both have buyer's remorse!

I have one of those too, M Vulgus. Isn't that a cool pin? Considering the small size, the detail is really remarkable.

It sure is. Pretty interesting.

Can't wait to receive them.. Anyone care to guesstimate the age of the hats?

Came across this picture on Shorpy's:

I don't know if the hats have anything to do with this shop, they were probably made for the Haberdasher? I'm kinda ignorant when it comes to these little historical facts.

Diego, I remember Raleigh's! They were local to the DC area where I live.

Really neat 1925 Raleigh Haberdasher show window, Washington, D.C.!

Every now and then you can buy a hat really cheaply on Ebay. I was winner for this one today.

It's name is Akubra Titan and the price was $16.67. I have no idea of the condition. The image isn't really meaningful because it was very dark on ebay and I added 300% to the brightness in Photoshop so I could see it. It may be a throw-away. Anybody heard of the titan?

C & K box

 

[Mobile Vulgus]

I now have more boxes than hats. I bought a bunch of single hat boxes late last year but now am favoring the double and triple boxes instead because they take up less space.

Toying with selling them. Not sure yet.

I never thought I'd get such a great deal on a VS, but I did and just bought it on the "buy it now":

I saw that hat too. Don't get me wrong because I could be wrong. When I look at Art's sight his hats are $305.00 on Ave. So you saved $35.00

This rather amused me.

Dobbs 100 ended early.....

Bummer. Seller just told me he ended the auction early and sold the hat to a behind the scenes offer. Was anxious to see what this would end up at.... now we won't know.

Perhaps it went to a lounger and we'll see it again. That listing never made my radar... thanks for posting the link.

Duly noted - thank you!

I know we'll see the Dobbs 100 again. It wasn't me, however. Until I see a Dobbs or Cavangh 100 that looks like a fedora instead of one of those thin ribbon LBJ jobs, I'm not interested. lol

Just won this Whippet box...

 

[Ande1964]

I couldn't resist this deal for two Open Roads. I'm hoping that one is a nice wearable hat, and the other could be so with some work. We'll see. Fingers crossed. They're also a bit small for me. If I don't think they can be stretched without damage, you'll be seeing them in this space again.

It seems a western feeding frenzy on Ebay has brought a lot of Open Roads out of the closet. I hope you find a pearl in your purchases there Anj - good luck!

Yes, and some of the prices are out-of-sight!
