I appreciate it; just send it to you.
that is the same hat in both threads? If so, I apologize as the first picture like a completely differet headwear. Your Antica and other lettering is not 14K gold?
You didn't get a certificate authenticating this?
I did, that is why I said it.
Just out of curiousity; your Antica Casa is the not Italian manufacturer, Otherwise you would have the Made in Italy right above the the Italian Trademark at the end of the Borsalina.
I was just posting that to reference that I have actually being doing my due diligence, and documenting each step of the way. And 55 sticker is not on the modern sizes. The modern sizes start at 57
Did this dude just tell me my Borso wasn't made in Italy?
Wow.
Welcome to the Lounge Barak Ness. It's hard to tell if your actually looking for information to help determine the age and value of your hat or if you're trying (unsuccessfully in this case) to support a conclusion you've already reached. Even if you take your hat completely out of the equation, the box that you say is original to the hat tells a story all by itself. The "original" box in your photos may well be original to your hat, but it is far from being old. It's just a standard, modern cardboard hat box and not something the old masters at Borsalino would have ever put their hats in. It would have been more along these lines, except older and likely fancier. View attachment 145406
Also, and I say this with all due respect, please don't make the mistake of literal interpretation of modern product branding. For instance, this coffee was not actually made in 1850 and no real gold, black or otherwise, was used in it's production. View attachment 145408

NO, I promise that I have been am just trying to The actually details. Even the two most essential companies that created and distrubted the hat are currently researching into it for me. Both Borsalino and Primo Hatters have had me submit everything so they can clarify with 100% accuracy.
Both of the companies are researching it because they could not identify it with anything recent in their systems.
I have literally been to 10 different luxury hat outfitters and had their appraisers examine it.
In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority comes from the inability of low-ability people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.[1]
I am left wondering if his/her parents had any children that lived.Did this dude just tell me my Borso wasn't made in Italy?
Wow.
You might as well call WalMart for an appraisal at this point. Nothing you are saying is correct. Nothing.Both of the companies are researching it because they could not identify it with anything recent in their systems.

Get this. YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN SUFFICIENT IDENTIFYING INFORMATION ON YOUR HAT TO KNOW THE VALUE AND MOVE ON.And
Words only became disruptive between a few as I am not here to to be argue about hats, or want to be criticized over details unless someone has accurate detailed information that helps understanding and identifying the hat.
Astounding.Did this dude just tell me my Borso wasn't made in Italy?
Wow.

JARED'S HAT IS MADE IN ITALY. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU SAY OTHERWISE?that is the same hat in both threads? If so, I apologize as the first picture like a completely differet headwear. Your Antica and other lettering is not 14K gold?

I am not sure. I haven't spent much time researching these pair of Levi's you have. But I bet that made a heck of a pair of durable jeans in 1873.
I should have gotten the popcorn out before I started reading this. Highly entertaining stuff. A bit like the parrot sketch.
Pictures sent. The brim treatment on my hat looks similar to yours, the liner is similar and mine has a similar size sticker and we have the same black leather sweat. I would venture that your hat is of the same vintage as mine....late 1980's or thereabouts. A quick check would be to look at the liner. Is the liner sewn in or glued? If it is glued then it is a very clear indication that it is at least as new as mid 1980's and maybe into the 1990's. As I stated I paid $135 for mine and I did over pay. I think $100 would have been closer to market value.I appreciate it; just send it to you.
