New here, enjoying the wealth of info. I've been looking for an awesome vintage bowler. Just bought one off ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321321244818

May have paid too much with the UK shipping but I love the lining. Any info on this hat is appreciated. Kind of wondering how old it is?

Looks in great condition. They're difficult to date, but it's probably late 40's possibly early 50's from the logo.

Thanks guys. With your support I'm feeling better already. That, and while I'm writing this, Pharrell is wearing another one while performing at the Academy Awards. So there's still hope!

I wonder how seeing another one at the Academy Awards makes the new buyer feel

Here is a pict of the lining.

I saw a posting here saying that if the label says R.A. Dunn vs Just Dunn & Co is probably 30s or older but who knows.

The full G A Dunn & Co name disappeared in the late 50's. I'm 90% certain your bowler is no older than 40's from the combination of sweat and liner, but in terms of construction there's little difference in quality between the 30's and 50's hats

Excellent, thanks for the input!

Scooped again. Damn.

If it makes you feel better, Arby's was the winner of the auction. Thats stiff competition.

 

[alanfgag]

Got no beef with that, of course.

 

[ofcoursemyhorse]

They're just hamming it up for publicity.

I won this yesterday listed as A Stetson Open Road, sold by Harry the Hatter in Vancouver

Got it for £11.02 so under $20 which I though was a good deal
It has a surface moth bite, and some marks but give it a steam and a clean see how it comes out

 

[rclark]

Nice find!

 

[ManofKent]

Paddy - not a lot of risk at that price!

Panamahatmall.com via eBay- real deal or BS



Said to be a grade 11-12 Montecristi.
Given the faults of the auction photo, anyone wanna opine as to whether or not I got what was advertised?
I am presuming it is one of the 16 pictured here.
Whatta ya' think? [huh]
