Source of absinthe spoons
From the J.Peterman site:
The classic French absinthe ritual involves placing a sugar cube on a flat perforated spoon, which rests on the rim of the glass containing a measure or “dose” of absinthe. Iced water is then very slowly dripped on to the sugar cube, which...
Glad things are looking up for you Lancealot
Now that the hat is moving again, can someone in line post some of the items from the log book that is traveling with the hat. I had the hat in the early days as it passed thru DC, Christmas 2006. We had a visit to the National Christmas tree on...
JBS branding iron
That is a JBS (John B Stetson) branding iron. It was on the hat along with the feather as a cowboy version and I am keeping both on the hat. However I have repositioned the feather to be entirely behind the ribbon and not obstructing the fantastic Fawcett signature bow.
Here is a pic of my Stetson OR that Art did his magic on. Just got it back today, it will be getting a lot of wear this winter and I hope for many to come.

I think the Orvis Snowy River is a good "bridge hat" with one foot in the traditional fedora style and the other in a more contemporary, modern vein. For those not really "into" vintage it provides an opportunity for them to doff a hat and not look like a 30's Dobbs poster (personally I like...
The "Eddie G"
Thanks, that is the "Eddie G" by Master Hatter, Art Fawcett. Art did these 2 years ago and they were a limited edition of 10, this one is number 6.
I think I snagged a new member to the informal union of hat lovers. A retiring friend, until now hatless, is the new owner of an Orvis Snowy River. I think he was surprised not only with the gift, but how well and natural it looked on him. He will be sporting his new lid in Myrtle Beach away...
I was thinking the same thing. I believe I have seen them in movies like as "Gone With The Wind" or worn by Liz Taylor in "National Velvet", havn't seen these movies in years so my memory might a couple degrees outa plumb.:D
Sorry for your misfortune...
I pray no one was injured in the fire and your most valuable posessions were spared. As Big Man said the hat has had quite an experience, I do hope that it is in the travel log. And a hearty thanks to your neighbor, the hat could just as easily been part of a...
Not to worry
Like there are a ton of people who would be offended by an improper wearing of a straw. The hatless crowd dosen't have a clue as well as the baseball cap guys who can't ever seem to take theirs off (in restaurants). The rest of the population reads posts on this forum and you...
Resistol hats are fine hats unto themselves...
I think that "imposter" is just a little harsh, Resistol made a fine hat and did not need to pose as anything or anyone else.
To my suprise, John Wayne, JR Ewing and LBJ's hat were Resistol and not Stetson's...
Flower color
I seem to remember from high school proms etc. that white carnations indicated that your mother had passed away and red/pink indicated she was alive.
Fedora data base
I don't believe that such a resource exists and I believe it would be a hugh undertaking to create. I suspect a highly formatted community wiki would produce the quickest results, but the data would not be validated and highly suspect, but a start anyway.
Perhaps...

Nat Nast black silk cords, J Peterman Gatsby shirt, J Peterman Gamblers vest, Allen Edmonds oiled shoes (exact name escapes me and not stamped in the shoe)
Helps keep it's shape...
I use that bag for my traveling toiletries, the straps help keep it upright on a hotel room sink and helps maintain shape with aftershave bottles, shave cream etc bulging the sides.
GTH in Virginia
Well the GTH has a good stay with me in Aquia Harbour, Virginia. I updated the log book with the activities and have placed some pictures in the log. Here is a link to some pictures of what we saw/did...
