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

Really? He admitted no such thing to me.

Here’s part of his message to me (other parts were insulting, but seeing the source I didn’t care one bit):

“If I buy a hat or 2 to adds to dads income and it then becomes part of his collection, no harm!
You don't know what it takes to take care of anyone else but yourself. Dads 88 and I'd do anything for him.”

I just bought my first Schoble. It's unreeded. I had it on my list for ages. I tried looking for info on it on the Lounge, but couldn't find out when Schoble closed. I will ask @alanfgag

Nice one, Max. I’ve seen photos but I’ve never seen one in person. I’ll look forward to your review when you receive it.

I wonder when it was made..

Did you look through the Noble Schoble thread for clues?

Dobbs Fifteen

I bought this because it reminds me of a clipper I bought from Steve @mayserwegener

. The word Farbe in the paper tag means color in English. Comments, please?

Yes, but I couldn't find anything concrete.

I found a brown Hambletonian. I saw another brown one a couple of months back, but it had a lot of moth damage, so I didn't buy it. This one seems pristine. The seller says there aren't any...
I already have a gray one that turned out to be MacLachlan made! I can't wait.

There isn't much to go on, Max. It does remind me of the hats Ottmar Reich produced in the seventies. The felt is always nice enough on these, but the styling is very much of its age (short crown, small brim and a good deal of taper).

Unfortunately, all too common rationale these days that I can do anything I want if it 'is "for a good cause".

Max, It's from a distributor Valentin Schick Mannhiem (see photo). Looks to be later 1960s into 1970s. It's missing the liner. As Stefan said it might have been made by Ottmar Reich for Valentin Schick Mannhiem.

Wow! Thank you so much, Steve and Stefan @steur. You guys know a lot.

Hahaha. I already made fun of the post. Even sent Jim's Whippet poster. She asked what kind of Stetson it is, quite couretously, so she made me feel ashamed of being mean.
I replied in kind.

I love the looks of this hat, Max. Great find!

 

[deadlyhandsome]

I I have three of these now. Great hard-use summer hats.

These come in a couple variations. The genuine Milan hats are much nicer than the plastic version. There are easy to shape with some steam and they breath great.

Thank you, Brent!

So while I am on the lookout for the certain hat or two I still “need” I keep getting SUPER distracted... especially if it is by this Super good deal on this Super dirty... Super beat up... and still Super Cool.... SUPER Borsalino Antica Casa

anyone know anything about these?
