Thank God it's not my size!

As was correctly pointed out in the other active auction...

I screwed up the date on the original post.

This auction ends at 9:00 PM Eastern, Thursday, June 26.

Unless, the bidding continues up until 8:59! Then, the auction continues! ;)

Congrads to Jimmy the Lid. I started to go head to head with you on this one, but as the price neared that of an Art Fawcett original I opted to go that direction. I have five of Art's hats and I know what they are like. But I sure would like to have had that Stetson. Wear it in good health, fairly won and a beauty of a hat.:eusa_clap

[jimmy the lid]

Well, I guess it is now safe to say, "Thank you, gentlemen." Much appreciated. I am very excited about this lid for a number of reasons. I'll be sure to post some photos once it arrives.

Cheers,
JtL

Duggap- Couldn't agree more!! Great hat, Jimmy the Lid!! Do post pics as I bet it looks better "on person". ;) I was tempted by this one as well but I've another by Art coming soon and am seriously wanting another and another . . .!! :D (wife's response was :eek: )

[handlebar bart]

Congrats JtL:eusa_clap I'm excited to see how you bash this one................is it normal to be jealous even though its not my sizelol

[Lensmaster]

I would have loved to have that hat but it went out of my price range. Maybe I'll catch one that is a little less expensive. Enjoy the hat.

[BobC]

Congratulations, JtL. An outstanding hat.

[jimmy the lid]

Am catching up to this thread after being away for a few days...

Many thanks for the kind words, gents. Much appreciated.

And Bart -- after watching size 7 vintage lids in mint condition go for peanuts on the 'Bay, I can attest to the fact that it is completely possible to be jealous about hats that are not your size...lol

Cheers,
JtL
