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

Doing very well there, Salty! A great win and it looks mighty on you! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

And with your early- to mid-50's guess you'll be most probably on the save side.

I think that $500+ is still way less, relatively, than paying $100 for the hat when it was new.

Actually its close to the same price if you use the inflation calculator based on CPI of the later half of the 1960's and its not new any more.

 

[Salty O'Rourke]

Who got this one?

Stephen Stetson Robin Hood

Not my cup of tea but interesting none-the-less. Given the size it's more of a Little John lol . Someone got a good deal.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Should have gotten that one, Mario! It's from the mid 1930s, when the 'Vagabond' style first came out. Here's another one, in action:

 

[Wolfen]

Did anyone here get this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...68&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&autorefresh=true?

I was going to bid on it but got distracted by a call at work that took longer than I thought...

Marc, you can believe me: it pained my heart to let that one go, but somehow I just have to balance my budget, and there are some other things on my agenda for now (so to speak). I watched the last minutes of the auction and even though I didn't bid I still broke into a cold sweat during the last few seconds. When I realized what the final bid was I just couldn't believe it. I'd have estimated that one to go much higher. [huh]

Well...next time around!

BTW: That Vagabond of yours is a killer! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

...I see a dry cleaner tag behind the sweatband logo on that Knox Twenty

 

[Lincsong]

Stetson 100 goes big

Whoever bought it must be a man of high caliber and excellent taste. We need him on The Lounge.

Dry cleaner tag? You mean a map to pirate treasure right?
Would someone really take there hat to the dry cleaner?

 

[Chinaski]

Marc, Mario, nice Knox Vagabonds, including both the one owned and the one that got away, and Salty, very nice on the Whippet!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

[/CENTER]

Very nice buy, Salty. The Whippets are always great looking hats and that one is certainly no exception to that rule! :eusa_clap

 

[cookie]

I'm sure the purchaser of the $520 one will be thrilled, and Jimmy got a fantastic deal, but...isn't the most recent one from the '60s? and jtl's is 1950's? Wasn't there a diminishment in Stetson felt quality over that timeframe?

dimunition....

 

[billyspew]

Anyone get the very old Stetsonian?

 

[St.Ignatz]

Box is beat but the hat...

An(other) Adam for Mrs. Natz.

I love the font of the model name. That's a great oldie.

Very nice, very rare!

 

[Artie]

My first fedora and the one that is still my daily hat is an Adams, it's a good working class hat. I really have a soft spot for them, what year do you think this one is?

That one is mid-late forties. (based on sweatband logo and price)

 

[St.Ignatz]

I'll have to ask our fellow members Artie.
It is a sweet hat for a sweet woman. I'll post picks when she takes it for a spin.
