I picked this up a while ago in a vintage clothing store, but it wasn't my size. I just didn't want to pass it up. Now, I think the time has come for me to say goodbye to it. Give it to someone else who can use it, so it won't be lonely in my closet.
It is a roughly 1960's Beaver 15, Kitten Finish Resistol. The color is a medium to lighter brown. It's in really good shape. The liner is slightly stained, but not serious. It has the size tag, and one reading 'Extra Long Oval'. The sweat is firmly stitched to the body, with no loose stitching. It has the sweat sewn together, not a 'taped' band in the rear. The stampings on the sweat show no wear, and the sweat itself is still soft and subtle. The ribbon is clean. The one cosmetic flaw is a small mark of dirt on the felt, roughly 1/4" by 1/16" on the crown. It is disguised by the crease.
The hat has a 2" brim with a Cavanagh Edge, and about a 5 1/2" crown when open. The ribbon is darker brown, and about 2 1/4" wide.
I'll set the price at $100 plus shipping on this one. I'm not great at estimating prices, so if this is crazy off mark, before you guys laugh me out of the forum, name me what you say it's worth. And if for some reason it's horribly undervalued, I'll trust you guys to give me a heads-up. The easiest way for me to accept money is a Postal Money Order. But if you like Paypal, that's fine. You'll just have to guide me through the steps, because although I have an account, I've never made a transaction through them before.
Pics for the hat are here:

Edited to say: No moth damage, either.
