Totally dapper color Homburg.

The way the wind tether has the center bow piece bunched up is way cool. I have never seen that or thought of doing that with the buttonend.

Flagship just got snapped up - don't see too many of those in the bay; I hope a lounger got it.

That may be a non-functional trolley... I've see hats like that and the button is stitched to the bow.

Comes with a cool crease too.

Looks more like a bash to me.

I said I wouldn't post any live auctions even though it's allowed now, but I'm going to make an exception in this case because it looks fishy, probably due to lack of knowledge on the seller's part rather than intent to deceive.

"Vintage" my @$$

What do you think, 90's or later? I'm thinking 2000's. If it doesn't go much higher, that would still be a good price compared to retail.

Looks like someone sat on it to me, regardless of what that's called. [huh]

I had trouble with the wind cord on my Whippet the other day and did just that!

Interesting crease in the second one. It reminds me of the space slug that almost ate the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back.

Mayser

Very nice small (54-55cm) black Mayser Fedora that went for 3 EURO. Probably late 50s.

Interesting ribbon and nice box.

Interesting ribbon . . .

Sure is! I was watching that one but managed to resist bidding because of the uncertainty regarding it size. I hope it fits you well.

I saw that one too. That's a beauty.

I was watching it too. The bow looks odd to me though, that's the only reason I didn't bid (also, I thought it would go really high - hah!)

Mr E Train · Jun 14, 2010

It looks odd in a good way.

saucerfiend · Jun 14, 2010

Won my first straw today. I think it's a 50's hat. Any ideas?

certainly looks like it could be. In any case, great colour and shape, nice looking hat!
