You know, like Happy Camper =)
I am delighted with an eBay win that just came in. It is a beat-up looking Bancroft Flighter in khaki with no badge and no mention of size. Seller said he didn't want to junk it. Thank God.
I thought I could straighten it out and resell it. But it turns out to be 7 1/8...My Size The brim is just as soft and flexible as new! Just bent from being in the wrong shape for god knows how long.
Next I rubbed the brim and strap, and head band with Pecards Leather cream. And put on an authentic Eagle I purchased for just such an occasion.
I worked the brim a bit and put it on this head form and made the correct shape.
I now have a large rubber band around the brim which helps give it the correct shape. It won't be long before this baby is in top shape. The interior is just fine for its age. The headband is soft, tightly sewn, and intact
And just when you thought it couldn't get any better...it's NAMED! (in hand writing & print)
Don't be a hater, lol
