VINTAGE 1890-1900 BLACK WOOL DERBY/BOWLER - SATIN LINED WILLIAM E. WALSH & SON

Description: FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS WONDERFUL ANTIQUE BLACK WOOL DERBY/BOWLER FROM THE WILLIAM E, WALSH & SON, ALBANY, N.Y. I BELIEVE THE CIRCA IS 1890s BECAUSE OWNER PASSED AWAY AND THE BUILDING WAS TORN DOWN IN THE EARLY 1900s. THE HAT HAS A GROSGRAIN HAT BAND WITH A BOW ON THE LEFT. GROSGRAIN TRIM RUNS AROUND THE EDGE OF THE BRIM, AND THE HAT IS LINED WITH A LOVELY CREAM SATIN LINING. IT HAS A BROWN LEATHER SWEAT BAND. NO SIZE IS LISTED IN THE HAT, SO ACCURATE HOWEVER, HEAD MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN TO COMPARE WITH ITS MEASUREMENTS. THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE INSIDE SWEAT BAND MEASURES 22 1/2 INCHES. THE HAT IS 5 1/2 INCHES HIGH, 10 INCHES WIDE AND 12 1/2 INCHES LONG. EBAY REQUIRES THAT OUR POLICIES ARE CLEARLY POSTED. MY ITEMS SELL AS IS. NO RETURNS - NO REFUNDS. BUYER MUST UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THIS PRIOR TO PURCHASE. HOWEVER, I WILL LIST ANY DEFECTS I SEE SO THAT BUYER IS AWARE.VINTAGE AND PRE-OWNED ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT, SINCE THEY HAVE HAD A PASTLIFE AND ARE DECADES OLD. BUYING VINTAGE IS NOT LIKE BUYING NEW. THIS HAT APPEARS TO BE IN NICE CONDITION, CONSIDERING ITS AGE. THE LINNG IS CLEAN, AND I ONLY SEE SOME DISCOLORATION AND SOME NORMAL WEAR ON THE SWEAT BAND. PLEASE REFER TO THE PHOTOS. I SHOULD MENTION THAT I HAVE A KITTEN, AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE BRUSHED THE HAT, SOME HAIR MAY REMAIN. SINCE MY ITEMS SELL AS IS, PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION, EXAMINE THE PHOTOGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. IT IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE THAT I MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED SOME SMALL DETAIL, BUT I TRY MY BEST TO GIVE DETAILED, HONEST AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS AND TAKE A LOT OF PHOTOS. MY RETURN POLICY IS LIMITED TO REFUNDS ONLY IF I HAVE MADE AN ERROR IN MY DESCRIPTION. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT ACCEPT A RETURN FOR ANY AGE RELATED SCENT, SOMETHING I DID NOT SEE, ILL FIT, DESPITE OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS, NOR FOR BUYER'S REMORSE, CHANGING YOUR MIND OR FOR ANY PROBLEMS NOT UNDER MY CONTROL, SUCH AS PROBLEMS OCCURRING DURING SHIPPING.
