Great find. These personal things kinda put you in touch with the past.

Justin, Thanks for posting these. Is the second one part of the latest Eakle find? I believe this the first American market
G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. I have seen.

I'll be getting a closer look at this one.
"Hours Concours, San Francisco California 1915" was a recognition of an award from the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) in San Francisco.
GB Borsalino book (I just received yesterday) detailing awards received. I promise to post it sometime soon.
The American Hatter, 1917 (note mention of the 1915 PPIE)
One of the hats in the haul of this friday was this one. Quite the surprise to find this one sitting in the street in front of a market stall in Amsterdam. It was in a bit of a state, but nothing taht would stop me.
GB Borsalino fu Lazzaro homburg in olive/sage colour. Qualitá finissima. Green brim binding and brown ribbon. Brim 5,5cm and crown 11cm at the pinch. Unlined with a cloth crown partch. made for PJ Remkes, The Hague. Mothing damage on the underside of the brim (bot nowhere else). The pictures are the "before" shots. It received al well deserved naphta bath and came out quite a bit cleaner (but not entirely perfect). No label inside the hat, but a newspaper clipping with a date of 1935.

Stefan, Super-Great find! Really nice to have the newspaper clip with the date. I like everything about it. Congrats!
Steve, thank you. Imagine that one sitting in the street on Waterlooplein, Amsterdam, amidst all the bric-a-brac (or downright junk). Gobsmacked is the term I believe.
These are the "after" shots I took today. The weather was brighter; the hat is a bit darker that the pictures suggest. After the naphta bath there was still quite a bit of dirt and grime on the hat, especially around the brim-break area. I managed to get most of that out with an eraser. Very pleasing to see the results. The only thing to suffer a bit was the cloth crown patch.
It appears to have cleaned up nicely.
