A felted edge hat owned by a Dr. with some flare.
sfinge translates to sphinx....cucio comes back as brown in the illustrations











price is $20.00


the model is Gorasgu
Very nice! I like the interesting crease you put in this one, or was is a ghost from the past? My Gorascu is a fluffy finish, I wonder if this model is found in other felt configurations. Lots to love about this one Vic.

I just snagged this on eBay. Not much listed in the auction and the pictures are not the best. But the price seemed worthy of taking a risk. I'm hoping it's at least 1950s or older. But I must admit the stitching on the brim is what caught my eye. Not to sure about the puggaree ribbon. It will be interesting to see the tags when it arrives.

Looks promising. Oilskin is a age clue. The mfg tags will tell some more. I love that ribbon treatment. It is probably not a true puggaree (removable), but really cool. Can't wait to see it in captivity Bill.

That's a nice Borsalino. Congratulations!

Sometimes a few pieces of Borsalino's history appear on the Italian market.
This time I came across a printing cliché, I guess for the sweatband
2wechhw.jpg

It is mounted on wood, length cm. 8, height 2.1 cm., depth 4.3 cm.
I think it will enrich the magnificent collection of Steve (mayserwegener) of chlichè for printing the linings of the hats produced in central Europe some years ago.
I then bought and I'm reading the inventory of the Borsalino Historical Archive with attached documentation CD.
Soon a summary of the story, seen from the inside, of the "Casa Borsalino Giuseppe e fratello" will be ready

Daniele,

Wow! It's a really fantastic piece of history. I very much appreciate your kind gesture. I was actually looking through my collection of dies the other day.

I am looking forward to your summary of the Borsalino Historical Archive with CD!

Those oilskin liners are almost always fifties. Looks to be a great hat, Bill and the pictures aren't that bad. I buy hats on a regular basis based on pictures way way worse than these. Advantage of poor auction shots is that other interested parties can't see what the auction really is about:)

That is a magnificent find, Daniele. A real piece of hatting history. No better place for it to go to than Steve.
