Amazing, are they all in your size? Or will they show up on Ebay/Lounge classified?

Great question! I was wondering the same thing myself.

YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION

one of the best hauls I have seen in a very long time ... looks to be a later Whippet when the dimensions started to change ...
are they all your size ?
ridiculous score !!!

Holy hat stand! I've never seen a flea market like that one!

neither have I .... hell ... I've never seen a hat store with anything like that.

I've heard of getting one or two decent hats at a flea market or estate sale ... but 5 ridiculous hats ???

Right? Incredible good fortune. I actually tried to get on the inside track at some local thrift stores with zero luck at all. A friend who used to work at Goodwill told me I was wasting my time as all their "good" stuff goes online now. Other than a little Montecristi straw for MrsFed I have come up empty on hats... but better on shirts, ties and suit coats.

there is a church run thrift store in my town called the Frippery
I go in a couple times a month and ask if any hats have come in
last summer when I went in to ask they said a woman had literally just left with 10 fur felt hats for $1 each ... $1 !!!! ... and that she owns a second hand shop in a town called Somerville where there a bunch of overpriced thrift and antique stores on this one street ...
I immediately drove to Somerville which is only like 15 min from me and found her .... wasn't too difficult

turns out the hats she had just bought for $1 each were now anywhere from $100 to $275 ...

she had some really nice lids ... really nice .. only one in my 7 1/4 that was a nice Mallory ... she wanted $200

I told her I had just come from the Frippery where she got them and that I knew what she paid ... asking if she would come down a bit

she wouldn't budge

that's what I deal with around here

estate sales are the best because they want to just move stuff and the prices are always fluid

off to the Frippery !!!

Best haul I ever had was last fall when I walked out of a local vintage shop with a Game Bird and Cross Country.

My searches lately at antiques shops, thrift stores and estate sales have been dismal.

I did find a 40s Adam hat box last Saturday for $5. Otherwise been striking out pretty regularly.

To think of the time spent browsing antique / thrift stores and coming up with nothing. When I do find something special I'm more apt to spend extra. In this case I would of had to bite the bullet!
