Great looking Resistol Rick.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Neat Resistol.

Great find Rick! I'd like to find a Waco too.

Trying to work out why I bought this, got it at a local carboot today, I think I might have got it rather cheap, £45 with a Henry Heath Box (very tatty) and a pari of vintage leather formal dress gloves

Lock & Co Silk Top Hat ( UK 6 5/8)

Thanks! The fun part was discovering that it was a Waco on the hidden tag, as the eBay listing just described it as a "Vintage Resistol". I may go back to the cattlemans crease on this hat, but I'll roll with it like this for a while.

Mr. Clark;
Fantastic find and great bash.
Here is what is in the mail.
Tony Lama NOS 5X. Could not resist at 40USD


Richard

Very nice!!

1920s or older(?) Emerson Special.

The felt is a deep Brown/green with silver flecks. Looks like a mix between a longhair and a regular finish. The Reed is made of yarn.

Another brilliant find, Justin!

 

[ManofKent]

Paddy - that looks in great condition. I don't know what sort of price you'll get with that size - I've seen 7 1/2s go for 8-9 hundred, but I suspect size plays a big part.

Richard - I look forward to seeing headshots of that bold beauty.

Justin - that's a lovely colour felt.

Nice find. Is that brand common?

Justin, another nice find!

Scored Another One

Hot digittie dog I did it again !

The guy who put in a bid was a "newbie " because he has only bought 2 things on free bay according to his bidding history .

With 3 seconds to go I put in a max bid of $60.00 dollars but I am just tickled pink because he only put in one starting bid of just 1 penny over the asking price so I got it for only 1 dollar above the original asking price and if it could not get any better it comes with FREE SHIPPING!

Excuse me but right about now I'm dancing a jig here in the room and I have to go get a beer to celebrate whoo whoo

This is my first Derby and I just love the look of it not to mention the price , any ideas as to age ?
I am guessing mid to late 1950's ?

All the Best ,Fashion Frank

Nice work, Frank. That thing looks nice!

 

[TheDane]

Very nice score, Frank! It's a Homburg, though - not a Derby/Bowler

I don't know much about Dobbs dating, but Brad Bowers is usually a great source of knowledge on that subject

Thanks Dane ,I was just discussing that with another lounger Garrett and he was thinking the same thing as you .
It figures I already have a really nice black wide brimmed Homburg as well as two different shades of grey burgs and a brown one .

Well at any rate the price was right . Again thanks for your input.

All the Best ,Fashion Frank

 

[TheDane]

Well, the one you just won looks really nice. An obvious keeper. Maybe you should consider a new ribbon on one of blacks? A deep burgundy can be very elegant on a black hat - and so can a deep midnight blue. Just an idea ...

My new Stetson from ebay


I'm really looking for an Open Road, but I do like the modern Stetson

Open Road from craigslist for $10 turned out to be too small for me so my wife ended up with my prize. I'm jealous.



sorry for blurry pic, will update later

Great hat! Lundstrom was a SF store for many years, with several locations.
