A Couple of Beauties I Bought

[cookie]

I am going to do a Chevalier with this one - a Parabuntal or Balibuntal (with the X cross weave?) methinks:eusa_doh:

I like this Borso too

Cookie dear, i really like the rolled up panama hat! Very nice find.

I've been looking for one for my dearest wife.

Thanks for posting this, Cookie!

A great find in the rolled up Panama and the Borsalino as well! :eusa_clap

But what made it nice for me is that when I clicked the link to look at your new find eBay presented me, as it does, with a list of similar items for sale. Listed was another rolled up Panama in a tube with a BIN of only $40. I jumped on it! We'll see what happens. It does seem to show some yellowing on half of it in the photos; I'll have to wait and see just how bad when I get it. No idea as to the actual age other than the seller says they'd bought it over 20 years ago.

Thanks again!
Tom

Ask the experts hereabouts as it may also be a high class Filipino Parabuntal. .

I will indeed! I figured that at $40 it was worth a shot whatever it turns out to be.

Cheers,
