If I remember right, the first bid the first time it was up was $100. I could be confusing it with another item, but that is what I recollect.

That's something that I've seen happen a lot. A seller will want to get at least what they think something is worth so they'll set the miminum bid at that amount, but no one will bid on it because everyone wants to have at least the illusion there's a chance they'll get a great deal. Still, I prefer that then a low opening bid with a high hidden reserve!

The only problem with the high opening bid is that only the gottahaveit collectors will ever bid. Everyone else will look at that bid and scoff.
And in the case of the clock, the seller got more than that high opening bid.

Exactly! It it is something I really want, and I know I'd be willing to bid at least the opening bid or more, I may set a sniper at the max I'd be willing to go. Somehow, though, that high opening bid is discouraging even when I know I'd bid twice as much if the opener was lower.

I found this article about the new Stetson store at 1224 Chestnut in the June 1913 issue of The American Hatter. Wasn't sure where to put it.

What about in the Hat Stores with pics thread too? There are pics (and maybe some discussion) of some of the older establishments over there.

Does Luxuro finish mean that the hat "Stetson" is made of wool felt? Or can it mean that it could be fur too?
I have read some info on it which referred to wool, but for example Stetson Weekender has also been labeled as Luxuro processed felt.
And older Sovereigns come in Luxuro too.
Thanks in advance!

Victor - As a vintage baseball collector, I love this tie-in.
Here's a nice baseball postcard I picked up today, mainly because of all the cool hats. Probably a Stetson or two in there somewhere: http://www.ebay.com/itm/250903620474?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648#ht_962wt_902
