My Stratoliner can finally fly!

[fedoralover]

I finally got a couple of little Airplane pins for my Stratoliners. Now they truly fit the name.

Is that the hat you are wearing in your avatar? Looks the same to me.
Nice hat. I have one like it in brown. They are great hats with lots of summertime wearing potential. :cool2:

Airplane pins fro Stratoliner

Awesome!
Exactly what those hats need to finish the look!

JP, the one in my Avatar is my Dobbs 2 Ouncer, it is very similar, (obviously) except it is much lighter and floppier and while it looks gray it is a very very light sage, or at least I think that's what you call it. It also has a wind string and but no edge binding. I also have an airplane pin for it as well. Here's a close up pic. You can compare the color to the Stratoliner, if anyone else knows what color this is please let me know as I've had trouble defining it.

Oh, that's right! You told me that before Fed. I keep forgetting.
The Dobbs can probably best be described as a green gray. I like those hats because you can wear them with many different colors. The hat will blend with both green and gray clothing. You have to look really close to make out the color diffference. A very versatile color---to me anyway.

Regards to all,

Sage Green Stratoliner Now On Ebay

]It appears to be like yours,, Fedoralover. I'm already out of the running (for now).

 

[fedoralover]

All I can say is, I'm glad I got mine when I did.

Now I know why they are called "Stratoliners" the price's on them are in the Stratosphere, the sage colored one is now at $265. It still doesn't beat the $531. that one went for a while back though.

Gray Stratoliner

I was just watching a hat I bid on early in the auction on E*ay. It was described as mint and had the original box. It sold for $130.00+ :cool2: :cool2: :cool2:

 

[Absinthe_1900]

Now I just need a hat to go with the pin.

 

[Absinthe_1900]

It was part of a collection of airline memorabilia,........the seller thought it was another type if airplane.

I added it to a few other aircraft pins I have. (Convair B-32 Dominator, Pan Am Martin China Clipper, two DC-3's and a Stratoliner, Piasecki Helicopter Co. And a vintage American Helicopter society pin)

Any one have a picture of an original Stetson pin?
