Thanks, Stefan. Great info!
The small headed gal that I shared the listing with doesn’t know anything about these hats, either. And so I won’t tell her what I’ve later learned about its monetary worth.
Since it appears to be old, especially if that hat box is original, maybe she can continue to appreciate it’s ethnic history?
Of course she can and I'd say a handmade one is certainly worth the money. Here are a few little clips on how they're made. In spanish though.

At $89 bucks I’ll call this 7 1/4 Borsa a victory, though she needs a bit of cleaning and shaping.
3” over welt brim and a tall squared up crown. The suede fur felt is something else!
Missing its reorder label, oddly.
I’ll list it on the Borsa thread when she’s ready.
My widest brim fedora, I think.

That's not just any victory, Randall. It's a decisive victory. What a hat!

Bowen @AbbaDatDeHat tipped me off on this hat listed as a size 6 ⅝. I meant to bid at the end but got distracted and missed it. A few days later it was re-listed due to a non-paying bidder and I made an offer that was accepted. Thank you B!

The photo the seller sent me at my request that was not in his listing for this “6 ⅝” hat. :)

Just now snagged this late 50s 7XCB embroidered liner—my first 7x with that type liner.
I’m thinking me and naphtha can get this’n to as new condition with little problem.
Can you bleeve the price?!!!
And no, I didn’t take any time to “read”!
Think this will be my best victory yet!
