And I collared it for only $10! It's a Champ, I'm thinking maybe late 30's or early 40's, has a 2-inch brim. Check it out:

If it's as good as it looks and the seller on the 'bay has said ("excellent condition"), it looks like a winner. What do you think, fellas?

I love the "look" & "lines" of your Champ! I seem to have a soft spot for Champs....why? ........I dunno, just seem to like 'em! Combine that with the price you paid......GREAT DEAL!!:D :eusa_clap

I'd say it's more like 50's though, by the logo and black sweatband. correct me if I'm wrong on this.

anyway- I love it.

Thanks guys

I'm pretty excited about this one. I'll be sure to post some pics when the lid arrives.

Dinerman, I have no idea of the age - it could well be 50's. I'll try to get some better pics up of the hat's interior once I get it.

Douglas, if I look one quarter as good in my hat as you look in your vast collection of exceptional headwear, I'll be an extremely happy man.

Ooh, Congratulations, Benny Holiday!! :)

You are gonna love that Champ hat! The first thing you'll want to do after you open the box is to "Feel the Felt"... :D
