Vintage 1930s ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ Oxblood Fedora, size 7 ½

[Marc Chevalier]

Yep – a true and marked size 7 ½. Looks just like the oxblood fedora famously worn by Johnny Depp as John Dillinger in the movie ‘Public Enemies’. Of course, Mr. Depp’s hat was new … and this one is from the early to mid 1930s. Condition is excellent!

Sigh, brim too stingy for my taste & the funds in my pocket are too low

The proportions on this hat should suit me well, and the non-leather sweat is intriguing. Sure hope I win.

Oh lord, my wife was telling me about this hat and another hat someone is selling an Art Fawcett on the bay....have to warn you, if she bids on that hat, it could get ugly, she does not know the term defeat when bidding. The last Hat she got me on the bay, she bid $450.00 just to make sure she would have beat the current bid of $135.00 a few minutes before the auction ended. Needless to say, she won. I think I have mentioned before, she bids like Godzilla when she wants to win something...

Haven't I seen this before? On the Lounge, that is.

You are safe, she has not bid on it.

Yesterday afternoon, I posted it on the Lounge for the first time. (See the "Hats" section.) Before that, it had never been shown on the Lounge before.

More comfortable too!

Whew!

 

[Chris Dillon]

Just so to be clear, I might have to go on a rampage if I dont win this. Fair warning.

 

[randooch]

You passed my max, so enjoy the hat!

 

[LoveMyHats2]

Oh lord. Humm...I am half tempted to have someone jump into the fray on this...as the great Sherlock Holmes would say, "...The games afoot"!!! lol!

I am sure Marc would enjoy more bidders as well. That is a great looking hat, and who ever grabs it up will be getting a great deal no matter what the bottom line will be.

 

[Chris Dillon]

Aw, now I feel bad!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Aw, now I feel bad!

Don't feel bad. Bidding means never having to say you're sorry.

 

[randooch]

Looks like I wasn't even remotely in the ballpark anyway! :eeek:

 

[Tango Yankee]

Looks like Marc got lucky and has a couple of amateurs in a good old-fashioned bidding war. The question now is whether or not #2 has reached his max. I've seen bidding that went like this before then stopped and expected there to be a flurry of bidding in the final minute or so, but nothing happens. Somehow I don't think that will be the case this time! If these two don't keep at it until it gets ridiculous over the next three days I expect that there will be a couple of experienced and serious snipers taking aim at this hat at the end. Should be fun to watch! Unless, of course, you're a bidder.

Cheers,
Tom
