Thanks! Yes this one is special considering the age, size and condition. I was also happy to see a date stamp on the sweatband.

Thanks! Here are a couple more photos. This how the hat was stored in the box.
The wide cork spacers were on the sides and the thinner cork spacer was in the box.

Steve, the Borsalino you had post is "un capolavoro".
It is the real elegant hat for that era.
It was born with the Weimar Republik and the start of the Great Depression and conserve today it's fine allure.
Splendido!

Echter Borsalino, Point 5 1/2, 3 inch brim, very good condition, probably early 1950s but could be earlier. Very nice form and I really like the bow design.

Saw this while hunting bargains. Looks like it was made with Joao in mind.
It's a bit small for him as it's a 6 7/8, but it definitely stands out. The hat can be found here:
