Well... There's hope yet

What did grandfather die of? Run over by the tractor maybe?

In the item description, it says:

"...leather rim inside hat is stamped with a cowboy on a galloping horse..."

I think it should have read:

"...hat was stamped on by a cowboy on a galloping horse..."


I actually have a lot of affection for objects like this. When I was taking art at school, we were asked to find a battered neglected object and draw it. I spent ages looking for objects like this, but our house was just too tidy.

The following week we were told to crumple a piece of paper and draw that. This hat would have been good for that sketch too.

It's what they call a "fixer-upper!" lol

It would be a good hat to practice on, but I wouldn't pay a minimum of $13 (starting bid + shipping) for it. I've got enough that need my attention as it is.

Cheers,
Tom

hahaa

actually seeing that hat like that i felt bad for the hat

 

[Ande1964]

Wow

That is... rough.

I marvel at what people are willing to spend their time listing on the bay. For me, if I don't think I can get twenty bucks, it ain't worth the hassle.

I think the best thing would be to get Dean to say a few words over the hat.
And we could all bow our heads and take a moment of silence.

 

[LEUII]

mmmmm. . .

Speechless

Ashes to ashes
Felt to dust

And so the hat returns to. . .

My theology studies leave me without any eschatological understanding for this hat.

I guess as long as the felt doesn't have any tears or drastic holes in it, it may have a possibility of becoming a Lazarus hat. My whippet was in pretty shabby shape (not to this extent) but was able to be reblocked. There is some hope in it. Then it might be a good Open Road style.

Cheers!

Down South, when we see a house that resembles that hat, we call it a Starter Home. :cry:

"Whose hat will she be in the resurrection?"

 

[Feraud]

Ebay sellers are amazing. They will present an item in any condition.

 

[dr greg]

anything goes

Funnily enough, hats in that condition are highly prized by wardrobe dept's in the film biz.

"Whose hat will she be in the resurrection?"

Oh my, that is hilarious! First time I've really laughed at something funny all day.

 

[Rooster]

[huh] I'd wear it.....

 

[D00R]

haha i'm glad I posted this.

Needs a naptha bath, a reblock, and if it's too stained, turn it inside out.

There doesn't appear to be any holes or rips. Body could be saved at the very least, and the sweatband looks as if it's still stitched on tightly, without being dried out.

I'd try it, but I lack the equipment and space to do so.

Looks like the pictures of my black Stratoliner. It's responding to some TLC, but I haven't taken any pictures yet.

I like it, looks like one of those Great Depression hats.
