Bows take a bow

[alanfgag]

In the spirit of drawing new inspiration from old, please share your favorite iconic ribbon bows here. They are beautiful to admire and might be a resource for those working on a custom project. I'll open up with a few of mine:

Stetson The Avenue

Dunlap

A couple of early 1900s westerns from Cheyenne, Wyo

Stetson Standard Quality

Disney 40 shark gill bow

Borsalino Gorasgu

Navajo silver hatband w/bow

your turn!

Thanks Garrett. There are a lot of bows there, along with other stuff. Will see if this has legs and delete it if not.

+1 on Steve's Biber.

The mid ribbon bow on your Bantam is a classic and beautiful proportion.

Here is a similar dimension on an inexpensive lightweight Disney Gadabout:
