For Sale:Black Brushed Silk Topper 7 3/8

[undertaker]

Greetings All,


I bought this on Ebay a few days a go in hopes that I could stretch it to fit me. When it arrived it is very rigid and I am afraid to try to stretch it. It appears to be in unworn condition and it saddens me that I cannot make this work for my impression of a Civil War Undertaker. I would like to get my money back on it, $125.00, Shipped via regular USPS. It will be a little extra for Priority Mail.

Found this from TIME MAG. July, 1964

"As merger mates, the two companies are made to measure. While Hart Schaffner suits sell for $80 to $150, Hickey-Freeman specializes in the luxury brackets, with suits retailing at $150 to $235, sports coats at $110 to $215 and vicuna overcoats priced up to $550. Last year it sold $20 million worth of everything, including plenty in its own three stores—F. R. Tripler in Manhattan and Capper & Capper in Chicago and Detroit."

From the look of it, you were competing with two other bidders, who were willing to go to within one little bidding increment of what you paid. Have you tried contacting either of them? They're already interested buyers.

Thanks, I really hadn't thought about that. However, the bidder list only shows the other bidders by the fake names. I do not know how to find out who else was bidding. I do thank you for the suggestion.

Regards,

Ah. Sorry. I had forgotten that privacy change on ebay means that only the seller can see everyone's full id.
Good luck with your sale.

Greetings,

I have ordered another hat so this one has to go. I will reduce the price to $115.00/shipped regular USPS. I always say lose a dollar and make a friend . Also I measured the inside of the sweat and it measures 23 1/8 inches.

Thanks,
James

Any offers?

I'd love it if I wasn't broke, and didn't already have two silk plush toppers. Still, it's tempting.

Tony,

As a Minister I am not suppose to tell you this but.... go ahead and give in to your temptation..... just this time though . As far as already having two others......It is kind of like when I was in the video store and found three copies of one of my favorite movies, I hadn't been able to find it and so when I did, (againt my wife's protests) I bought them all. I told her something might happen to one and it was sooooooo hard to find .

Regards,
J.S.
