[Salty O'Rourke]

Oh, man -- I've been tied to the Whippet post!

Have no fear, I'll bet there are a lot of people scrambling through their closets looking for Whippets to auction off after seeing today's action.

Mayser Homburg

I won this nice size 58cm Mayser Homburg. Probably mid to late 50s and in very good condition.

I won this yesterday and have high hopes for it. I doubt if it's from the '30's like the posting said, but I absolutely love the crease, the bound brim, and the dimensions, it looks very close to my Akubra Capricorn, but maybe a little stingier. not sure how accurate the "perfect" is of the condition is, definitley looks like it needs a naptha bath. and for $25 shipped, it would be one of my cheaper mistakes. the size wasn't listed but the seller sent me the dimensions and it comes out to a 7 1/4, so I'm really keeping my fingers crossed about that!

I'm kinda surprised there were only two bids including mine.

update: I got burned... aside from the questionable age, the liner of the hat is covered in a yellowish powder residue could be mold or something else, and the oval opening is not 6 1/2 x 8 as advertised, but 6 1/4 x 7 3/4 which knocks it down way too small for me. I emailed him and asked for a refund so we will see what happens. I know it was only $26, but it's the principle of the thing....

have you all had much luck getting refunds?

Stetson Playboy w/wind trolley

I'm suprised this Playboy didn't go higher; if it had been in my size I'd have snapped it up.

now that I'm over my crankyness that it didn't fit, after closer examination, it's really a nice hat that needs a little love. does anyone know what the yellowish residue may be?

if you have any interest, let me know...

I measured the inner circumfrence at 21 & 7/8 (via tape method)

the sweat is in good shape, but just needs cleaning.

The seller offered a refund, but I don't want to loose money by paying to ship it back, so I put it up in the classifieds, hopefully someone will have something they want to trade. I'm going to try my hand at cleaning it this weekend. now to find the napthla and the lexol....

Very nice one! Congratulations! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Thanks! The felt finish looks a little different. Could be dust build up or the photo playing tricks.

I'd say fifties sometime based on what I can see in the photos.
