Throw 'em an offer, Tommy. That's a great lid, in great shape. A more unique color for a Hommy; one that would suggest the wearer has more than one hat... like a Doc, maybe.

Item of interest;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-194...846?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51cd0574d6

Been watching this one for months. Really, really nice hat but, I think overpriced. I don't think I've ever seen a Homburg fetch anywhere near this price. Perhaps the good doctor this belonged to is more famous than I'm aware of? Curious to see if and what it might sell for.

I agree, very nice hat, looks pristine, and interesting history, but overpriced to me.

I normally take modern size 7-5/8 but recently discovered that 7-1/2 Long Oval will likely nicely fit my noggin.
But 4 bills?
Perhaps if it was NOS or mint, but still pricey if you ask me.

I did offer what I thought it was worth, was immediately shot down. I already have 3 Hommies I don't wear so a forth at this price is a no go(two of my three I got for well under $100). If they ever have a half price sale I might buy it.

I've been living under a self-imposed hat moratorium for some months now, once I realized how many I'd amassed including homburgs. So if the price isn't right it's a no go unless for some reason the hat in question is quite special to me (I still have a weak spot in my heart for Canadian production Biltmore Rosellinis, of which I have a ridiculous number already, but one cannot have too many of them, in my book).

This one was nicer than I expected. I love Twenty's and felted edges most of all
