[Mr. 'H']

Better still, it came in a perfect condition "Cavanagh" box.

No tears or scuffs, perfect!!!

 

[Mr. 'H']

Too mint!

They are still in existence back there. I used to do business with them from here. They are big and expensive.
I have two Borsalinos from there about the same age as yours. Nice huh? :eusa_clap

Check the bottom of the box. My Cavanagh Homburg came with a "Rules of Canasta" pamphlet in the box. I'll bet that guy is still looking for it.

Early 40s?

[ideaguy]

Borsalinos

Nice looking lid-50's best bet, and great condition; welcome to the club-
if it's really soft it could be a kitten felt, making it worth a bit more...where's
this store you went to??

 

[DanielJones]
