small melon fellas.....

Just throwin this out there. I think it's time to thin out my collection, I don't wear more than 1/2 the lids I own and I'd much rather see someone else appreciate/wear them as much as I have over the yrs. because of medical reasons, I haven't been able to work for well over a yr now and can use the cash. All the 6 7/8 hats I have don't fit me anymore and I have a bunch of size 7 as well. Before I take photos and post them, I just wanna put a feeler out there to see who/how many are "seriously" interested in buying them. All hats will be shipped with a $10 flat rate. All are vintage and range from the 40's to the 60's, well taken care of, no mothing on 90% of them and all kept in a non smoking home. Serious inquires only. You can answer/reply here or pm. Thanks for looking.

I think you'd find interest in the sevens - smaller than that would be much more limited. I'd enjoy seeing the older hats in your collection.

I believe you're right Alan. As much as I hate the thought, I may have to list them on ebay, maybe even Etsy. I'm working on uploading some photos to photobucket as we speak. It seems that my old account is gone after all these yrs.

this is a nice Resistol that has a back bow.

this is a Dunlap Twenty.....stingy.

 

[bolthead]

no stats on any of them yet, but will answer any questions.....no prices set yet either, but open to offers.

Bolt, I'm a size 7, 21.75" skull, and would be interested in what you have. I like the non-tapered or reverse taper crowns, brims from 2 1/4" to 2 1/2", love medium to thin ribbons, and am a big Resistol fan. What have you got?

Out of all my wider brims/thin ribbons, I don't have any Resistol. My Resistols all are a bit stingy, but I'll double check for you.

Best of luck on the sale here, Kurt!

Somebody's going to be happy, happy, HAPPY.

Well, the one up above: what are the specs on that? And the Dunlap?

I mention Resistols because I've had good luck with them, but other brands are great too -- Stetson, Borsalino, Emerson, C & K. Never had a Dobbs or a Dunlap, though the Dunlap you post above is tempting.
