I was pretty excited to see what might actually be a vintage "native inspired" top hat in my size. I was thinking a thin, beaded band of similar vintage in R/W/B would really set it off and it could be my National Holiday hat.
ca. 1850-1880; early beaver pelt top hat with black ribbon trimmed rounded arched brim, silk lined with trade advertising inside "G.A. Burger, 2248 N. Front St., Philadelphia" with owner's initial "J.B." pasted inside, accentuated with altered shielded eagle hat emblem and has two feathers in black hat band, 11 1/2"x 9 1/4"x 6 1/4", hat size 7 1/2"; Condition: mount on emblem has been altered, extensive wear to rim, emblem plate is model 1881 with crossed rifles, talon grasping arrows & laurel stem
Looks like G.A. Burger may have gone out in 1898.
Alas, I finally get a response to my inquiry yesterday and the 7-1/2 was truly in inches and this was a size 6-7/8 to size 7. Went for $100. Bummer...

"Grandpas hat" popped up on Marketplace today:
Unfortunately, grandpa didn't have any more hats.

Sunnington Hats of Philadelphia. This is a new one to me and I suspect it’s a store brand made by one of the big companies. It’s a handsome hat and I’d have bought it if it was my size.

As @BobHufford said when he gave me the heads up on this one...
“This looks like it might be something ...“
I suppose the other one could work for Capt Stubing LOL
I think this will arrive for my birthday next week.. a fun birthday reveal

I’m not sure what I’ll do with this, but it was in need of rescue. The felt looks alright, but the sweatband is toast.

Not sure what size this is. I won’t know until it gets here; the seller didn’t know much of anything about the hat.

Apparently, I’m still paying for sins from another lifetime:
Less than six hours after paying for it the seller notified me that they were “out of stock” and had refunded me. I was going to put the kids through college from the sale of this hat.

That just ain't right. The seller may experience a bit of karma down the road in this lifetime. As well as the person that convinced them to cancel a "binding" transaction so they can buy at a higher price.

Did somebody here grab the $70 1950's grey Whippet off Etsy this afternoon? Looked a little bent up but nothing that couldn't be steamed or ironed out.
