The new skyscraper consist of the entire 5th Ave block from 40th to 39th St. also occupying a small building on 1w 39th St. making it a super structure of almost 1 million Sq.Ft. HSBC bought the building from Edman Safra, owner of Republic National in 2000 already built. Inside, the building has marvelous views that allow you to see from the Statue of Liberty all the way up 5th Ave. to central park and uptown.

Came across an old and very cool hat box and inside it was a Knox New York Hat.

It appears to have hardly been worn but the box is very old and beat up. My husband loves hats and buys expensive cowboy hats quite often. He really felt he needed this one so he bought it. He wore it last evening to a murder mystery wedding dinner and was selected to be the preacher. He looked very dignified in his new hat. I am sure he will be wearing it quite often as we do things that require costumes and actually he can just wear it if he likes.

I have a black hat that has the Knox label with a red crest which reads registered. It also reads Allure. The hat belonged to my mother-in law and I did not know she owned it until she died. The hat I feel is very old, but I'm going to wear it because it is so beautiful, and Old looking, Barbara Collins from Framingham MAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
