He may have gone to prison. Highway robbery or some similar charge...

Well then I guess I'll supply the laugh! And thanks! :)

I'd contact Goorin's customer service and see if they could check their archives.. Might have some luck there if their customer service reps are good at their jobs.

Thanks Mark!

Item of interest... File under "Don't see these too often"...

The black keyhole tag, aka the transitional keyhole tag would put it around '63 or '64, give or take a year. That, of course, is just a semi educated guess. :)

Hey y'all! Resistol 3X Beaver today. Have a great day!

Oooo...pretty! And not black! Did Gelot ever make their own hats? Or were they more a retailer?

More of this Everest in the French Hats and Makers thread. Check it out!

Hey all! Gelot Diplomatique as the rain begins again. Have a great day!

Thanks Joe! Yes, it is the same one. I had no idea of the size, but I figured that the best time to bid on a Vimenet was when I saw one. The 8 days waiting for the auction to end were excruciating... Looks like ""Dad lost out big time! :D
