@steur thank you, so then according to this it looks like mine is late 50's-early 60's.
So what exactly was the Marque Grand Luxe... was it a series (ie: x-xxxxx) each with a different finish? Originally seeing that term (MGL) interspersed in the BB thread, I had thought that it was the...
Here's the Borsalino I got in the mail last weekend. It looks like the colour is Argento, which I assume to be silver and the model which is the Ecosti(?). There are so many pages in the Borsalino Brotherhood to get through, so it's almost a shame that there isn't a page (thread, or pinned)...
Yes I will attest to the effectiveness of a cheap vodka spritz taking out the nasty smell (mothballs, I believe) out of my early 40's Lee hat. This particular hat is now one of my favorites, but I did have to spritz it completely about 4-5 times with some cheap vodka mini's before the smell...
Thank you both, once I receive the Borsalino, I'll check for the tag inside the sweat because I know that is important... probably take new photos and post in the new hats thread.
I'm waiting on two hats... oddly both from the same proximity (staten island and oyster bay), although my cousin who lives on Long Island would probably beg to differ. A Borsalino (my first) and surprised my low bid caught what appears to be a 20-30's Dobbs, Leisure Luxury. Does anyone know...
I picked this resistol up on facebook marketplace, something I've never done before. It was $40 and a very nice deal for the hat and original box. I'm guessing it's from the 1950's, so correct me if I'm wrong. Not sure what the style is, although I have seen a Plains marked hat that had the...
I fished this up out of the bay the other day... it had been sitting around there for a couple of months with no bites, 5 1/2 crown as pinched and 3 1/2 " brim. Other than a couple of surface nibbles and the vergis stain, it's in incredibly nice condition. Stiff brim and soft buttery crown...
Yes i know this is an old thread, but I went to the internet archive and read the article... really interesting and for some reason I didn't know Lee hats made the Disney hats as it's higher end. Sometimes old stuff in here deserves to be bumped.
Looking to get an idea on the date of this 5x beaver resistol hat, that unfortunately doesn't have a liner to help out. I'm thinking 50's, but haven't had much experience with Resistol tags that it has which is a pen sticker 4258, and 3 numbers on the other tag: 484 (which I think is the...
