Thanks tommyk - here is the bow - ribbon has a wrinkle in it. White looking spot on edge is smudge that rubbed off.

Very nice score, L. Very nice! :eusa_clap

"Emerson hats are truly exquisite. Very good quality hats for sure!"

Very nice score, L. Very nice! :eusa_clap

Thanks very much - I was lucky to get it. I posted some additional photos on the "Emerson Hats" topic - I'd post them here too but Photobucket takes away my will to live with its freezing after every copied photo.

As I troll around on eBay, I frequently try different combinations of hat brands and try to see what is "newly listed". Turns out two Borsalino hats in my size had just been listed with very reasonable BIN pricing, so I pulled the trigger. One was described as dove grey and the other as charcoal. Here are some pics the seller took of them.

It looks like I'll be joining the Borsalino Brotherhood pretty soon.

Went for this one at the last second. I love me a blue hat, and i've been looking for a replacement ever since I parted ways with a similar but far too big stratoliner in an identical robins egg blue.

Nice looking Strat, and landing one in a color other than the 'usual' is no small achievement.

 

[RJR]

Nice!

Looks like Silverbelly on my monitor........nice hat!!

Ladies Silk Plush Dress hat. I'll still wear it though, it just looks like a silk plush boater to me.

I would have expected it to also come with the framed results of a DNA test to authenticate the provenance...

With DNA or not it's a nice looking hat for pinheads.

This one went very high, funny thing is the seller probably got it at an estate sale for ten bucks.

It's a nice one. Congratulations to the winner.

I cant believe the prices that vintage Stetsons are selling for.

 

[alanfgag]

Very few vintage Stetsons sell for this much. Desirable size, desirable model, desirable era (OPA) and a few willing to pay to win it make for an exciting auction. I could share a similar disbelief on current production Stetsons, but I won't go there.

 

[DJH]

An OPA era VitaFelt Whippet in 73/8?

Yep that would fetch a good price.

On the whole, vintage Stetsons are a pretty good deal compared to the modern ones.

Whoa!

I cant believe the prices that vintage Stetsons are selling for.
