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

[Rmccamey]

Sorry Brent. I've about decided all eBay hats should be listed as size 7 1/2 (+/- 2).

And another defeat!
One of this things is not like the other:

can you spot it?

Too bad it wasn’t a Resistol with a self conforming sweatband as they can become any size!

Excellent bowler score, Max!

Stetson Feather Weight. I'd been looking for one ever since Alan posted one. I came across it with 5 minutes to go on the auction.

I’m Thankful no one else wanted to bid on this. I don’t know if it was the wrinkles in the crown and ribbon that should steam out or that it was titled as a derby/bowler but either way I’ve had my eye on a St Regis and I’m thankful this one fell into my hands.

Happy Thanksgiving

That should spiff up pretty nice. Good get.

Thanks Jim. I’m looking forward to seeing how it compares to my very similar styling and era Dobbs. Also a small detail... but it would also be my first Stetson with keyhole tag card intact

Great to snag hats like that, Joe.

Nice find. I was watching it, but I really didn’t NEED it. And you are right, I was a little concerned by the wrinkles in the crown. I wondered if they might have been caused by a non-original hat band that was a bit tight.

That’s a neat one with the medallions on the liner and the feather stamp. Pretty sweet.

Interesting thought... could be. We shall see.

Nice catch, Joe. Classic colours. The St Regis hats usually go for quite a bit of money considering the homburg style isn't all that popular.

Yes they do seem to. Maybe one of those Stetson ‘named hat’ situations like with Whippet albeit less severe.

Hey, that one was sold from my neck of the woods. Unfortunately the store closed a few years back.

I'm sure a few members would have seen this - a bit of heated bidding in the last 40 secs but I really wanted a Select Quality in this colour

Wonderful find. Congratulations

That one looks pretty clean. Nice snag.

 

[Just Daniel]

Yes, for the size and color I think you came out ahead on this one. Well done.
