My trip to Alessandria: The Borsalino Museum...

[Aureliano]

Wow! How fortunate you were to be able to go there! Fantastic pictures... Too bad you couldn't get any of the liner album. I bet it would be helpful for dating some of our Borso's.

they just wouln't let me photograph that album! and a nice display of hat boxes they had. They were specially adamant about the boxes!... weird.

I don't get that... It's not like there's some underground market for manufacturing forged Borsalino liners and boxes. New production hats, maybe, but old boxes???

Seriously. I told her I wanted a picture 'cause I have one of the boxes on display.[huh]

Very interesting, Aureliano!

Small bump for those who missed these pics before I delete them from photobucket.

Why delete them? These would be great to leave up. Aside from their value, it sure is frustrating
to come across a thread with broken images...

Great pictures.

I need the space in photobucket for a project. But you're right, I should leave them. Let me see what I can do.
