No problemo Greg.
Wow! Very nice Bob!I have three new hats!
My wife (God bless her) agreed to attend an auction while I was at work. She was out in the 90-deg. heat from 9:45 until 3:00 (the hats were about the last thing sold) and she said that after all that she was buying them all no matter what the price!
She ****ed off a couple of good-ol'-boys who were after the Stetson (which I told her was the lowest on my list and she ended up paying the most for).
She got them all for less than the price of a new Camp Draft.
She did buy herself a few things (a 1940s quilt, a solid cast iron frog door stop and a new ionizer), so that added to the price, but softened the blow. I've taken her to dinner and drinks at the coldest place we could can find in hopes to make up for some of her suffering on my behalf.
The Resistol appears to have not been worn. Still has the display size tag stuck in the ribbon and was still bagged and boxed. The only reference I can find to this store (Spence's Western Store) is from 1974.
Not sure what model the Stetson is or the date. Seems similar to the current Royal Flush.
The Stevens shows quite a bit of wear to the sweat (and there are salt stains in the ribbon). The store (Braithwait's) was in operation from 1896 through 1976.
Happy to have them ... thanks Sweet Baby!
Probably pretty thirsty after being outside in the heat all day!

Not really a middle of June kind of hat, but the price was waaaaay better out of season.
Probably won't see much head time until at least November, but nothing wrong with planning ahead a little.
