Good get Max! I like that one a lot.

Whacha think, Bob? Pencil-roll or homburg?

I'm kind if thinking and hoping it's a pencil-roll.

Could be, but I think I see evidence of a stitch around the circumference in the first picture, and the slightest sign of a brim binding in the last picture. My vote is homburg, but a great hat nonetheless.

Hmm. I think you're probably right, J

I was thinking Lords Hat, but see that stitching now.

Ha! I thought this was gonna go for about $350, so I bid that. I won it for 47.
I think it's from the 40s.

WOW! How did that slip through the ebay vultures (of which I’m one)? Good get there, Max.

I think I was the first to see it. I contacted the seller and offered $150 BIN. While we were discussing it someone bid, and I had to wait 'til the end of the auction. I saved 100 bucks.

Yeah, pretty sure that's not a Hommie.

The homburgs keep streaming in: that's good sign, Max! Great catch.

I think early 30s, pencil roll. A beautiful hat. My guess is the title kept folks from seeing it. A great buy!

Late 30s - early 40s... agree on great buy. Congrats Max.

Hey, @alanfgag what do you think of this Borsalino Milan I just bought for 40 bucks? Is it really 50s or early 60s? Is it the real wheat straw from China? If not, when did the real Milan straw stop being sent to Italy?

Yes that is an interesting hat. I gave it some serious thought even though it is too large for me.

How long was it listed? I bought it immediately I saw it.

How's this for inflation? [emoji1]
The guy's nuts. I wonder if they ever really sell something this way. The buyer would have to be amazingly naive, I think.

What always gets me is, at that price, you'd think they could eat the damn shipping.

LOL. They probably think "all I need is one idiot".

So you're saying I shouldn't have bid?
