Yeah. Old watches is another interest of mine, fix up old mechanicals - I should probably know better at this stage

Four hats for $13 each. Really curious to see the outside of that “Best Beaver Guaranteed “ hat that is stuffed into the mystery bowler. The only ads I can find for the Ferguson store are from 1924.
Youmans , New York.
Lincoln Bennett.
Pre-1936 with the mention of King George V? I can’t quite make out the date on the Prince of Wales reference. Or do these “By Appointment”s stick around after the noted Royal Highness’s death?
A mixed mystery.

Nice haul, Bob. The best kind of deals: a pack of lottery hats for a great price.

Some really nice finds, Bob.
The royal warrant dies with the sovereign, or once the Prince of Wales becomes king.

Thanks Steve!
Waited until they were in the post on the way to me this time. Picked up three from a French shop, mix of late 40s (grey), 50s (brown), and 60s (black).
Paid about 39 euro total shipped. All sold by Barronier in Nancy.
Will be fun cleaning them up and seeing what they're like

I had to wait until this was shipped as well, but I think I found a rare one here. According to @steur it is a Borsalino style not yet seen here. Hopefully, it will be in my hands before the US holiday and I can post further in the Brotherhood thread.

Very nice. I keep looking but rarely see vintage caps in any of the antique or thrift stores in my area.

A roll-of-the-dice with a $5 winning bid. That felt hat looks very interesting and there are a couple Panamas. I asked, but received no further information on brand or size.
I'd say that is a safe bet for a fiver, Bob.

Love low dollar package deals like that..... I get lots of lawn mowing hats, but often find hidden gems in the mix. Truly the thrill of the hunt

It's been 18 months since I bought my last hat (not counting a couple of beaters in SE Asia). I guess I'm pretty happy with my collection as is but every once in a while I still go on eBay and see what I can dig up.
I didn't have to dig long tonight before I ran into this Dobbs Fifteen for $49. Sold! I'm such a sucker for Fifteens!
The photos stink but boy this guy looks just about as clean as could be. Seller says it's a size 7 but provided no proof. I don't know what the brim size is, can't make out if it's a Guild Edge or a Dobbs Edge, and I am asking myself if that truly is a pink ribbon.
It will be an exciting unpack. Looks to be mid to late fifties, but I am not very knowledgeable in dating Dobbs.

Thanks Jeff, I'm glad it's not just me who thinks that!
The seller is away until after Thanksgiving so it will be a few weeks getting here, but I am glad to have an exciting hat purchase again after so long.
