For Sale-1950's DISNEY Fedora SZ 71/8 NOS Absolutely MINT!-EBAY

[Joshbru3]

Hey Everyone,

Here's the second hat on the auction block.

Its a 1950's Disney. This thing is literally MINT. I do not believe it was ever worn. Its by far the most perfectly preserved hat I have ever seen. It really reminds me of a Whippet, but it looks like it was pre-creased from the factory. The pictures really tell it all. If you have any questions, PM me.

Josh both your hats are very nice, the knox is beautiful. I wear a 7 1/4 I wonder if this could be stretched to fit without any damage, I don't like to stretch or shim just wondering the thoughts of anybody else.
Thank you. Carl

Well, the leather is in mint condition and seams to be soft and pliable. I would imagine it could take a slight stretch up to 7 1/4, but as I always say with all vintage hats, its most definitely a risk.

WOW!

That is a VERY sharp lid! I mean, look at that pristine liner!!

Just a hair too small though.

If I had the extra $$ I'd pick her up just for the collection. Unfortunately not at this time...

Someone pick her up and treat it right!

Thanks, Rats.

No matter what price the hat goes for, I just hope whoever wins the auction, treats the hat right. Its one heck of a hat, and I would love to see it go to someone that will appreciate just how cool this Disney is.
