Help with a Borsalino

[Ordinary Guy]

It looks too wrinkled up to be much good and would cost way to much to refurbish, better just send it to me and I'll try and deal with it the best I can.

Wow, what an offer, but I thought I might try my skills first. Maybe a go round in the new Maytag and hang it out to dry on the line first.... if that doesn't work , I might contact you.......

By the Way, my wife went back to the Thrift Store to get the other hat and it was GONE. I wonder if it was a Borsalino too???

My best guess is late 40's-60's, and that is just that, a guess. I own one the same color(Averla)and the same model(TA/Ludora), with the numbers 980....8325E. My hat retailed at Marshall Field & Co. You might try to narrow down the manufacture date by when that retailer was in business. My hat has a brown medallion.

Thanks for the info, and I see that they put the color on the lower left and the model on right... more info for me to store .......

You have some very nice ones in that pic....I can't get over how soft they are.

I have noticed when there are three names, the middle one is ribbon color.
