The Postie just delivered a package I ordered from China over 3 (almost 4) months ago.

How unfortunate. What beauties they are. You never know... maybe one rainy afternoon the postman will knock at your door with this long lost bounty.

Oh. Sorry to see that, maybe they will come out with the COVID?
what decade do you place the hat? Your label info puts it mid 30s to early 50s? That $10 original price point for the Qualita Superiore is pretty cool. I hope it lands on your doorstep!

They are from the 1937-1953 timeframe, most likely late forties or early fifties.
Thanks for the support guys. I've never had a package completely disappear before, so the postal services might still redeem themselves (let's hope they do). The seller has been great about this and is as disappointed as I am. It's not about the money but more that two hats of this quality could be lost. How often am I going to find hats like them?

I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that both these hats are older than you think.
Could well be. I'd have to do some more digging and look back to what the seller managed to turn up (he wasn't their original owner).

Awesome hats!!!!!
They could still show up.....I had a package that fell off the radar on November 1st last year.......it finally DID show up almost 4 months to the day later, on February 27th this year....with NO record of where it was all that time.
Yep...there is hope they both arrive and I call "Dibs" if they end up size 7 punti!!!!

Yes......I am at 95% they will get to you, and .00017832% that either or both will be punti
BUT...I still call "dibs" if they are! If for no other reason than I like to say...."DIBS"!!

Thanks, Alan. Would be interesting to find out where they have been all this time if they show up eventually (fingers crossed).

Good looking hat, Vic. Unusual with this type of label that it doesn't have the model name on it. I've never seen the "torino" model name mentioned on any label but this proves it's been around for quite some time.
It has been months since anything decent came along, but here's one I found this week. Seller was so delighted that someone put in a fair offer that he shipped it over for free. Nice bloke.
Borsalino Suprema in Bismuto. Size 60 with the bound brim at 5,5cm and the crown 10cm at the center dent. Fairly lightweight at 110 grams. Early to mid sixties for this one.

Welcome to the lounge. Interesting hat you've found there, Ivo. Dates from the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies; no way to tell exactly. "Biber" is the name for the colour. The second name "noce" is the name for the colour of the ribbon. Can't tell you how long Lippits was located in Haarlem exactly, but I know they were located in Hoorn earlier in the sixties. Nice catch.

WELCOME and NICE way to start!!!
Other than to say pretty much any Borsalino is a good hat, I will let others with more knowledge let you know about that particular Borsa....
