The Disney Diner

[Dinerman]

And then there's this Disney Homburg.

 

[bolthead]

Wow.....

EricH, that is one sweet hat. I love the color and the feather color is way cool as well. It really sets it off.

Lady Blue, That Lancer is just Amazing.....1 of the nicest, classiest hats I've seen in awhile. I love it.

My Disney Oxford Fifteen.

I was pleased with it, as soon as I opened the box.

I know I am going to feel silly for asking, but there is only one "Disney" I know about ...
Is this brand licensed by the same gentleman from mouse fame?

 

[Dinerman]

Nope. Disney was founded 1885.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Dinerman, Can you give us any more history on Disney Hats? I've been striking out in my research. Thanks, JTM

 

[fatwoul]

This one is currently in the classified section. I would gladly trade it for Marc's dream hat.

But then what would Marc dream about?

Nope. Disney was founded 1885.

That's cheating! It's written inside JT's hat right there!

 

[Dinerman]

Not so much cheating as using resources. It's in all the liners.
None of mine have union labels. Everybody check- labels?

 

[J.T.Marcus]

I hate to admit it, but I saw that date and later forgot all about it.

 

[fatwoul]

...Everybody check- labels?

I'm guessing a union label is what I think it is - a stamped label with some sort of information relating to, well, the labour unions of the people in the factory?

Or is it something completely different?

I saw one earlier in the thread, I think, but it was a bunch of numbers or something.

 

[bolthead]

Thanks JT.....

....for resurrecting this thread. :eusa_clap

Here's mine, I only have one so far, but after I got it I fell in love with it & definitely want another one, for sure.

I have Dumbjaw to thank for my Disney, he's the one that actually found it for me on OFAS, if not for him I may not have this hat today.

 

[deanglen]

I know I posted elsewhere about that hat, Bolt, but It just looks so good. Darn good looking hat on you. :eusa_clap

[bolthead]

Thanks Dean, much appreciated.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Bolthead, It looks great on you! I see yours is a "twenty," which means it must be one fantastic piece of fur! Do you sit around and pet yours while you watch t.v., too? :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[HamletJSD]

Great point Diner ...
Supposed I should open my eyes before my mouth, as 1885 would've been about 15 years before Walt was born.

See, I knew I'd feel silly for asking

LMAO....it is amazingly soft and pliable.

Marc, Thanks for starting this thread. It may not be large but where else would we see vintage Disney's in one place?

 

[GWD]

My First Disney

This is a great little hat! It was originally a 7 1/4 Long Oval. It arrived filthy so I gave in a gas bath and re-blocked it to a 7 1/8. It turned out pretty nice. I did loose the Disney Crest in an oxyclean bath but what are you guna do?

 

[AlanC]

^Very sharp. And since this thread has been revived, I'll post pics of my thrifted 1940s Disney as refurbished by Art Fawcett. The hat box was an orphaned one rescued from ebay:

And currently I'm awaiting this one from ebay complete with Disney box:

Very nice Allen, I didn't even know this thread existed until you mentioned it.
