My 1st Vintage Hat - Dobbs

[BJBAmerica]

I have an Akubra Federation and a Jaxon Bogart, but this Ebay win is my first vintage hat, a Dobbs.......Just won it today, here are some pics from the auction page.....Looks to be never worn.....Any thoughts?

That is breathtaking... how in the world did I miss that? Tell me you're not a 7 3/8!!!
That is just stunning!

Just looked up the auction



You dog, you. I hope you were wearing gloves, 'cuz you stole that!
$29 bucks delivered... now I really am green with envy.
:eusa_doh: Fantabulous score!

Dang. I don't know why, but for some reason I've never been able to see photos posted here that are hosted on Imageshack.us. All I can ever get is the red X. [huh]

Well, enjoy your Dobbs! I'm sure, from Rick's reaction, it's a beauty!

Cheers,
Tom

Holy Crap, Batman!!!

I just did a search to find the auction as well... Wow! My size, too.

It's been a couple of days since I looked in that category. When was it posted?

Great find, great score... good on ya, as the saying goes! :eusa_clap

Cheers,
Tom

Some things are meant to be...

Some people are just meant for one another, some hats are just meant for a certain head

It's all written in the stars

OMG.....

That is Phenomenal. I'll say you stole it. You're gonna be 1 happy camper when that lid shows up on your doorstep my friend. :eusa_clap

Congratulations, Barry. Looks like a real nice one. And thanks for the reminder that you can indeed still find very fine vintage lids at low prices, provided you're patient and diligent and a bit lucky.
One caveat: If you're true to what seems to be the pattern around this place, the arrival of your vintage Dobbs could well mark the beginning of the end of the available closet space at Chateau Barry. Old hats can easily become a habit, you know.

Whoa...that is...great...

Well, you certainly entered the vintage industry with a BANG!!!
