I was watching that and a 30s stetson that recently ended as well. Was busy so I missed out! Absolutely stunning lid!

Someone scored an awesome hat in that University Club, I just hope it was someone from here so we can see some better shots of it.

I swooped in on this one.

I think you might want to re-crease it OCMH

Looks a good find.

DAMN! Totally just lost this gorgeous 30's University Club…

That does vacuum, Josh... but at least you didn't have to pay that ridiculous shipping charge!

Rest easy, but I don't think the eBay thread is the right place for him?

 

[fedoracentric]

I love hats, but I am not bidding on a dead guy. I don't care how famous he is.

 

[Rogera]

Nice snag!
There might be some cool hat dating info or other reading on that piece of newspaper under the sweat too!

 

[ofcoursemyhorse]

Thanks Roger, I was happy to see the newspaper the original owner tucked in there. A little bonus history along with the hat is always a welcome find.

A wide brim Borsalino. Small and high price...

Date is off by a half century or so, but an interesting and unusual XXXX Colombo.

Not exactly a hat, but this ebay buy will help me keep mine in good shape. Many of this guy's other block/flange combos have gone for well over $100, but somehow my small head helped here:

Great deal. It happens from time to time, when least expected. See TheDane's PDF re the Hatter's Knot in the Hatter's Tools thread. I use parachute cord & wet my cord before pulling tight...

Thanks for the tip, I've got a spool of para-cord in my truck.

Picked up a couple from him, too. The descriptions are fair but shipping was terrible--took over a week, and the boxes were too small, so the blocks pushed the top of the box upward. Still, glad to have picked up a 52 from him, and like I said, the blocks are good.

Roped this one right out of the gate

it can't have been up there five minutes. An Orvis from some years back.
Anyone know if HatCo or Beaver (or

Dorfman!) was the manufacturer? I am hard pressed to come up w/ another US concern that could've filled a major retailers' order.
[huh]


Looks western weight. Anyone else have one?

Couldn't resist at this price

Good price... a little R&R at Optimo and you should have a winner.

For that price a hat (that probably will not fit) + hat can (I didn't own one) even if it have no handle.
Don't know about the signatures but that hat band might interest me.

 

[dnjan]

Excellent deal on the hard case!
