Hi,
I'm selling my 1939 Hamilton Boulton. The watch is in excellent condition and is keeping very good time. (It gains a couple of minutes a day) This watch is 14k gold filled. No scratches on the crystal. I've only owned this watch for a couple of months. It was purchased from a vintage watch...
I think the real question should be, would Harrison Ford have been as good in the part without the hat? I don't think so. Many actors rely on a prop of some type to help them "find" the character. I've always thought that when Ford put on the hat before shooting a scene he "became" Indy.
I bought the hat from NogginTops.com.
The hat is by Christy's of London and is called the Havana on the NogginTops web site. I don't know if that's what Christy's calls it or not. It's hand made and stamped as such. They call it a grade 8. Not to sure exactly what that means but it's a higher...
A Panama in Mexico
Thought I'd post a photo of my recent visit to Chichen Itza.
My wife and I spent last week in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. During our time there three different people tried to buy my hat. One was a man selling Panamas.
Grandfather
My grandfather ran liquor during the first part of prohibition. This wasn't his full time job, just an occasional thing to earn some cash. He made up for it when he was in the FBI in the early 30's. He used to tell the story of being used as filler for a line-up one time. Naturally...
It seems a bit stiffer than my Stetson Downs. That said it's not what I would call overly stiff if that helps at all. Yes, I feel some give to the felt.

My Banjo Patterson arrived today.
I ordered the fawn color and this seems just a bit darker than I was expecting however I'm more than happy with it. Initial impressions.....I may have found a new favorite hat.
