    Just wondered, does anyone know how many different designs Tilley put on their "Top Hat" shades? There must have been quite a few, I myself have seen (pics of) 4 or 5 but they perhaps aren't a bloke thing? I know there are catalogues on the reference gallery showing various styles and materials but is there a catalogue for the glass ones?

    Good question, Jean. I've seen a very small handful but I can recall only the flying duck one. There may have been one with some dark green (conifer?) trees on it, but maybe I dreamed that...

    Did you see the price of that flying ducks one the other day on eBay - over £200! :shock: :shock:

    I think that I have seen one with Dutch Windmill type scenes. But maybe I dreamed that too! There must be some catalogue somwhere surely. You have got my attention now Jean! Steve

    I think the flying ducks comes in 2 styles.
    4 flying ducks and the other has 3 flying ducks and a patch of rashes.

    Now you are just showing off Paul! I have a yellow one with daisies (or could be chrysanthemums) and sold a white one a few years ago to a fellow member which had ribbons and bows on. I seem to remember that Kenny C in Ireland has one with coach and horses but perhaps I've just walked into David and Steve's dreams?

    It would be nice to see them in the Gallery. Might even be worth a dedicated slot for them there.
