Interesting pick-up from you-know-where

Post by Mulceber »

I was looking around on ebay a couple weeks ago, just browsing around, and I decided to look at what Herbert Johnson's they had for sale...I didn't find a hat (at least not one I wanted), but I did find something that was imho, even better. Check it out.

Here are a couple of pics of it with my AB. Just a caution, my AB is not very photogenic.

What do you guys think? I thought that since Indy owned an HJ, he obviously would have had an HJ box lying around his house somewhere. I think its a very nice, characterful piece, and a real bargain at only £9.99. :junior: -IJ

I think it's really nice...a good find and indeed a bargain.

I almost bid on a hatbox with crusades logos on it.

Pretty cool, wonder if they sell them without the hats?

Really? that's interesting. I guess its just another great product brought to you by Lucas' merchandising agents.

I doubt HJ would sell the hat boxes. It'd be giving away their name brand so we could put our Akubras and Adventurebilts and Optimos in their hat boxes. Just bad publicity for them all around. But I do agree it would be cool if they did. :junior: -IJ
