Jim Roadt Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I picked up this Peerless Hat polisher barn fresh from Hippie Tom His Uncle had a hat shop in Milwaukee and Tom started his empire from selling 5000 some hats after his uncle died. This I found in one of his 15 barns stuffed with everything Hippie Tom was made somewhat famous on American Pickers and he is the real deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roadt Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 For clarity Hippie Tom is the guy on the left Thanks to Bill Dunlap for new peerless spin start cage, blade and motor work Thanks to Trevor Anderson great work on resuscitating that tag from the dead I think it turned out pretty nice 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
