Kathyrn Ramsey Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I know that Smoke and Fire make them for molding womens hats I do not see that there would be much difference. Kathryn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I got one from Jas. Townsend and it worked well. Of course, it pales when compared to the one I got in a Kingston straw market for 5 bucks. But the Townsend one will do. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

CrazyCholeBlack Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I was just comming to say that I found a straw hat blank at Kohl's today. It's got a silly ribbon on it that easily comes off. It was $7 in the clearance. "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."
