Interesting fact, Daniele. So the handwritten colour on the label corrected the pre-printed colour of it?
No. The complete hand written label are older than the printed one, but it happened, even in the seventies, that for some reasons, some Borsalino have the hand written color. Small lot or hats that have to be send in a quick way. This hat is not so old, too much things wrote on the sweatband and it came form one of the most touristic town in Italy. This means it was mostly a product for strangers

Biggest defeat in a while, so this one isn't mine (dammit). Hope a fellow lounger got it. I think it's of historical interest and that's why I'm posting the auction shots here anyway (but I don't know of course). Very early Echter Borsalino.

Pity that one slipped through your fingers, Stefan. Looks very interesting.

Stefan, Yes this one is fantastic. It has a similar external size label as one of my 1929 Echter Borsalinos.

Wow! What a finish. I'm sure it went for big bucks.

Thanks for the sympathy, gentlemen and I would have liked to have won this one, but as Daniele rightly pointed out: I should have bid more. Didn't go for that big an amount actually and maybe that's my problem: I've gotten used to getting hats in my size very cheap (and the Dutch are supposed to be stingier than the Scots:)).

But not as stingy as us Yorkshiremen [emoji4]
