Fall Harvest
While our farmers are preoccupied with the harvest this Autumn, I have been busy as well. My luck in finding nice vintage lids that fit my 7-1/2 melon continued yet again this past weekend.
Early Saturday morning, with the sun still low in the eastern sky. '40s Stetson Whippet. Undersized and overpriced.
Exquisite '40s Stetson Royal DeLuxe St. Regis. Near pristine condition save for a few smudges on the binding. Resistol box was sadly empty.
Big hat with a bargain price.
Back outside in the glorious sunshine. Barbisio Lugano on my noggin. Lee Blue Label Trinity in hand, and Portis SUPER-LUX on top of the Lee box.
Strong incandescent light washes out the violet undertone of the Portis.
The Lee Trinity has a beautiful factory block and wind trolley.
Back at Orchestra Hall Saturday evening, this time in the audience. Royal Hat Works.
Savoring the Fall colors and Indian Summer weather yesterday. Optimo Silverbelly.
