Just received my second Cav Edge today via eBay. I like it, but am thinking about selling it perhaps. What are these generally going for these days? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You've won a nice '60s Cavanagh Milan at a decent price. Good catch!

Hi Folks

Hi Brad- Thanks for taking a look and replying.
This is my first straw and I probably won't get a chance to wear it until the spring.
From my limited experience with hats, I find the Cavanagh's( own 2 fedora's) to be great quality.
My thinking was any decent condition Cav under $45.00 is a good deal.

I also feel that this is a good time of year to get a straw in terms of price.

TIA for comments and reply's

Best regards

Joe, I think you are supposed to put the links to your auctions in the Classifieds forum, rather than in here.

My Cavanagh

Hello everybody, I am new to this forum and also new to the world of fine hats! (Although I am not totally ignorant as I have browsed this forum before) I just received my first hat today, which I got for 25$. I love it! It is a black Cavanagh, and I would like to know if there is anyway to estimate the date it was made. The sweatband is embossed with its original store which is "Roberts Bros." in Springfield, IL. I actually managed to find some information about this business, I suppose it was rather well-known in the area. Roberts Bros. clothing stores were founded in 1919 and their last store closed in 1989! Also, on the opposite side of the size tag there is a union stamp for the International Union of United Hatters, Cap, and Millinery Workers. Also embossed on the sweatband is "Cavanagh Edge". Thanks! Now here are some pics:

I'd say early 60's and WOW that is a clean pristine Cav.

 

[Sprinkles]

Thank you! I am curious, do you happen to know how much these cost back then (early 60s)?

 

[jlee562]

There might be a price tag under the sweatband if you look. Typically hats were about $10-$25. I have a similarly old Cavanagh Homburg which was priced at $20.

 

[Sprinkles]

Unfortunately there are just some papery remnants under the sweatband where there was undoubtedly a tag! But, thank you for the price range.

There is much Cavanagh information archived in this thread... enjoy, and welcome.
