A couple of boxes on my porch when I got back home today.

Here is the first one I opened.

2 1/8" brim, nice felt. The feathers may have to go. I have no experience with Marathons, saw this one for $16.99 and had to get it. Anyone more knowledgeable able to narrow the date down for me?

 

[moehawk]

Here's it on. Still needs a steaming.

The color is most accurate in the ones of the sweatband.

Here's the other one.

Box is a little rough, a split seam on the bottom. Hat is better!

2" brim, very nice velour. Should be ready now if the weather takes a turn to the chilly side.
It is my first Disney, I had been eyeballing it for over a month, since I got my John Batterson greenie I have liked the Tyrolean look.
Off to the Disney thread to look for dating clues. Any knowledge imparted on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Brass Rooster with 60 year old felt body and ribbon.

Oak, you need to post that one in The Green Machine. I think it qualifies!

 

[moehawk]

TY konadog!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Moe, that velour have a nice nice finish.
But those tiny tiny hats with tiny brims (it is still called a brim?)... applying ZOOOOOOOOM.

 

[moehawk]

TY Joao! It is a wonderfully soft finish. Maybe not a brim by Portuguese standards, but barely not a stingy by American ones!

A couple more pics of the Marathon. I took the liner out and found a paper tag glued to the inside of the felt.

Which is a little odd, since this was printed on the liner.

And a price tag.

Fit agrees more with the 7 1/4 size.

A few nice estate sale finds this morning

A very nicely made Homburg hat by company I've never heard of.
Some interesting things on the interior of this one

Then just a couple straws.
The first one is really nice ... Made me think of you moehawk... What size are you ?

Nice Hommie, Moon! You had better luck than I did at the Flea n' Tique yesterday.

 

[moehawk]

Nice scores, moon. I wear a 7 3/8 or 7 1/4, depending on the hat. 7 5/16 if such a thing existed.

Picked this one up yesterday at an estate sale in Central Texas. Can't find a whole lot of info on Bradford hats.

 

[RJR]

Nice Bradford.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Estate sales do not exist here :\
Nice finds Moon.

Bradford... I only know the Bradford-Resistol.
