Thanks Moon, that means a lot!! I am still pretty much in shock over finding this in a little antique shop in Wisconsin...............
I can clearly see from the photos that it is indeed a special one
I have two of the Barcelona hats.One is a Twenty,have to look to see what the other is.Got this sweet blue hat today . I'm guessing 40s on the era if any experts know feel free to correct that.

I really love the bow on that one! Very nice!
.....though what am I saying???????? I wear suits and sportcoats with bow ties and fedoras........this will bring only a very little more attention to myself I really should have nothing to fear with this hat...........That is a super find. I know Daniel would say, hell, wear that one everywhere except to bed! LOL! LOVE the ribbon and bow treatment. It does not get any better then that as it is such a rare one.Yes, it is even a "little" out of mine as late.....though there was a time when western hats and Tony Lama boots were the thing.......I even have one pair left
And as I still attend hisorical re-enactments in those cloths
And, YES......thank you......it is a wonderful ribbon treatment........everything about this hat is........well..AWSOME!!!!!
I plan on pairing with a suit or sportcoat soon......for a trip in the wild......I hope it behaves.

Your comment about wearing the hat in bed immediately made me think of this Stetson ad......just now found it!!!
Great find. I want one of those Stetson Homburgs now. Who says advertising doesn't work [emoji5]
Sweet find Moe! I think your Uncle will be very pleased and will learn to appreciate what a real hat is all about.Found this stingy Bond at the thrift store. Although I rarely wear stingies any more, and this one is too big at 7 1/2, I couldn't pass it up for $5. I have an uncle who is getting into hats, last time I saw him he had a couple of woolie stingies so I'm going to turn him on to a nicer quality piece.

Stickers:
Don't think I've seen one with two union labels before, usually it's one on the body or one on the back of the size tag. I guess someone wanted to be sure we all knew it was union made.
Crown 5", brim just shy of 2". The felt is medium weight and of good quality. Machine creased, but I don't think my uncle will know the difference.
A good starter fur felt for someone who grew up in the stingy era.
