OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[Blare]

A gamble on a pot luck lot of nine vintage hats. Don’t know size or what all is there... other than one is a Playboy. And an old Mallory box. Looking forward to seeing what arrives.

If there is a 1/8 Strat stuck in there, give me a shout

Is this the hat version of Powerball?

Is this the hat version of Powerball?

With much better odds...

Those are the best ones. The january edition of Christmas!

I was on some oddball auction site watching a lot with a 1940s Stetson (not sure the model), a later Stetson 3X and a not-too-old Borsalino. The bidding had been stuck at $40 for several days. I was really after the light blue Stetson, but (despite having set a timer on my phone) I looked down and the auction only had 5 seconds left and it was still 30 minutes before it was supposed to end (according to their own countdown timer that I had checked off and on for the last couple of hours). Boom! Closed! No hat for you!

WTF?

I guess I should have put in a max bid earlier, but still ... this one hurt a bit. Hope someone here got it.

That hurts. That blue Stetson looked great! Bummer.

I’m thinking late 1950s?

Another light blue Stetson that I missed out on ... but that was by choice.

Oh no. That’s too bad.

How wide is the ribbon?

My last similar Knox Roundup was nice enough to make me try another:

I’m hoping there’s a nice hat hiding here:

Not a style or vintage I was looking for, but I don’t say no to $10 hats.

When I took a chance on this lot of 9 mystery hats a few weeks back not knowing what might all be there other than what I mentioned above. I half way hoped they would not be my size... making any decisions on what to move along much easier. Well..... They finally arrived today. All my size more or less. And some cool goodies for sure! I can’t say I’m disappointed in any way that they will fit.

Looking forward to profiling them in the Post New Hats thread over the coming weeks. Along with some other arrivals I have not gotten to yet.

Joining the hat lottery group, $21. Seller says it’s a Stetson. No crest or size information available but I figured why not roll the dice? Shipping will cost more than the hat.

Glad to see you won that one -- looking forward to what you discover about it. Hope it fits Daniel!
