Johnnyphi Schobel listed on the Bay!

I've posted this hat on eBay, along with some fresh pics and a reduced price.

I won this from the NOS Johnnyphi auctions just recently, but I'm afraid it doesn't fit. I'm assuming it shrank a bit in storage, because it's wears more like a 7 3/8, not the 7 1/2 it's labeled as. It's in good enough shape to stretch (if desired), but I personally will not stretch a vintage lid.

Here's the auction thread;

The felt on this hat is divine! I really wish it fit me. I gave the circular mark a light brushing and it's less visible. With more care, it looks like it will come out. Most bashes would conceal it, anyway.

Bump for update.

Stop bumping the thread. This needs to not sell until pay day

I can't take it any longer. Can't stand to wait until pay day.

This place, alongside MyArmoury, will be the financial ruin of me!

Glad it was a member that got it! Want it open crowned, bashed, or sent to a hatter?

I'll have it out for you in a few days.

I just learned how to bash a crown the other day! So let's go with open crown, unless you need the clearance to package for shipping.

To paraphrase Edward G Robinson, looks like that little man inside me was right! Pics shall be forthcoming =)

(If it's any consolation, I'm way out of money right now. Not in the best of shape to have done that, but whatcha gonna do, eh?)

You got lucky. I had to leave the house today on an unavoidable errand, so I stopped at the PO earlier than I expected. I would say give it 10 business days, or there abouts. You're gonna love this hat. It was painful to send it away.

Can't wait to see it! Don't worry, though--I promise that it's going to a good home, where it will be well cared-for =)
