Great find - and from the German Ebay site no less... :eusa_doh:

I actually won a hat. I need to not do this anymore. I don't actually have enough money to buy hats.

My Very Own Open Road

I guess I am no longer in the market for that Campdraft right now.

We will see how this really works. This is the first time i bought a vintage hat on ebay. (I know, it is not very old or in very good condition).

That should clean up nicely, Yeps. Let's see it when you get it.

I am really excited. I have no idea how it will want to be shaped, but be assured, you will see the results. I will post it in the new hats thread, and apply for membership to the Open Road Guild.

I'm excited about this Harry Rolnick-marked Resistol. It looks to be in excellent condition and I'm optimistic about Kitten-Finish Beaver Fifteen felt.

Any thoughts on its age, gents? With no liner cover and an un-reeded sweatband, I'm thinking 40s . . .

 

[zetwal]

Without other data to pin it down, It could easily be early 50s too.

Have you ever felt Kitten Finish felt? If not, you're in for a TREAT, that stuff is amazingly soft.

Great, I have not felt that felt and look forward to doing so!

Excellent! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Had it been my size I would have put in a bid as well. I'm pretty sure that you'll love it. And I'm with zetwal - my guess would be 50's as well.

Not a Jiffy pop popcorn maker

Picked up a vintage Jiffy Steamer today. Luckily it was a local seller so I didn't have to get it shipped. It even works and its vintage steam....

Off season sales apply to vintage hats too

Great stuff! I somehow missed this one, or I'd have bid on it, too.

That cat in the listing template is just creepy ... and makes me wonder if the hat'll be full of hairs?

Congrats!

Only gotta worry about that if it's a Kitten Finish.

 

[Salty O'Rourke]

Wanted it but knew I'd never wear it, so I didn't get into the fray for this really cool Resistol.

Interesting hat, I wouldn't wear it either, but still cool.

I'd wear it. I think that's the first Resistol ***-Prince-clone I've seen. Dobbs seems to have created it, we've seen a number of Stetson copies, but the Resistol seems new.

This 7 3/8 Champ is also sharp.

 

[Lefty]

6 7/8 gray ******* can't even hit the $55 opening bid You pinheads are so lucky.

8 So far

Well, in my first full month of hat-buying on ebay, here is the result...

(The light gray one on the burgandy hat box was not from ebay, though. I bought that one from a vintage clothing store I found on the Internet tubuals.)

 

[Rick Blaine]

WELL DONE!

If you snagged this VINTAGE DEMON HANOVER MENS FEDORA HAT SIZE 7 LGHT BROWN. It's a great hat, great piece of history and the box alone went for 500 clams in a recent auction. In fact the The Hambletonian Society's museum has the box, but not the hat.

Mr. Harrison Hoyt also commemorated his win with a line of neckties that I have been looking for w/o result for a few years. The snap-brim felt hat was sold in two weights and three colors - light tan, gray and medium brown- but the buff colored are all I have ever seen.
