What hat are you waiting for today?

'Bout time ...

It is from the later period and has a couple of spots and one moth nip that I can see.

But it's supposed to be my size and, although it went past the $25 to $45 estimate, it was still half-price.

VERY nice!! I hope it fits like a glove. What size do you wear?

Thanks Mickey! I typically wear a 7-1/2 LO, but have some 7-5/8 and some 7-3/8 that work.

Nice! The western styles are my favorite. I’ll keep an eye out for some good 7 1/2 LO hats for you. I see them sometimes but never buy because I’m a 7/7LO

My wife is a couple of towns over restocking her flea market booth (split white oak baskets) and ran across this for $1.50. I said “yes please”.

Got a bit bored today, so to add a bit excitement I went for two more lottery hats. They should be good, but are they my size...?

Nice find from your better half, Bob. Hope she's making a bit of a profit out of it

If not Stefan, I'm sure you'll have no problem selling them on.

Thanks Steve! I don't think she can get hurt on it. And I'm pretty sure all the profits go to her anyway -- except for what I "reinvest".

Unless they're too small...

We need more smaller heads on the FL.

Last but not least but certainly the dirtiest. This one is now in my possession and yeah it is dirty. Came rolled up but doesn’t seem worse for wear.

oops, one more that arrived this week. This one will be a Christmas gift for my son for his jazz band outfit.

Nice haul. That next to last one appears to be a Stetson "Musketeer." Both Joe @Blare and myself have one. Mine's had some wear, too; Joe's looks nicer.

Yes, I think you nailed it. Thank you!
