    The School of Hard Knox

    1950's Knox One Hundred. Has 2 1/2 inch brim with Custom Edge. On this hat, the Custom Edge looks closer to a Cavanagh Edge than other Knox hats I have with this edge treatment and don't really resemble a Cavanagh Edge.

    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    Stetson 1X Nutria. Has 3 inch brim and 4 1/2 inch open crown. This hat was once owned by buler and has already been posted on the Lounge. The Lot Number 4413 tells me it was made around the 1919-20 period. The Block Number on the mfg tag is 424.

    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    The Lot Number on that Tom Mix Jr...the first number is too faint to read, but logic says it should be either a 6 or 7 to be in the 1930's era, so I'm calling it Lot Number X134, but the overall look of the sweatband suggests to me that the Lot Number would be #7134. There's a Stetson with Lot...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I don't think it's probably any later than the mid 1950"s and could be a late 40's hat, not sure. Anyway, a nice hat!

    The School of Hard Knox

    1950's Knox Forty. Has 1 7/8 inch brim and 5 1/2 inch open crown. I suppose this hat might be pre-1955 since Knox came out with their Knox Fifty in 1955. The mfg tag says the block depth is 5 3/4 inches.

    Western, anyone?

    Thanks a lot. I was hoping it would be a winner, but it surpassed my hopes. As soon as my fingers touched the felt, the immediate impression I got was of a Stetson 100 or Stetson 7X from the same period.

    Western, anyone?

    La Salle beaver Western style hat. Has 3 inch brim and 6 inch open crown. It seems to be a Pure Beaver hat, although it doesn't say that exactly but seems to say it indirectly. I'm guessing it dates to the mid 50's to early 60's. La Salle was the same company that made Champ hats.

    French Hats and makers.

    Stefan was kind enough to sell this hat to me. Feels like a French Whippet to me. 2 1/2 inch brim and 6 inch open crown.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Stingy brim Knox Forty. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a real fan of short brimmed hats, but Knox Fortys come up for sale so seldom that I had to get this one. I think the brim is like 2 inches.

    The Cavanagh Club

    Cavanagh Montego Planter, 2 1/2 inch brim. The sweatband is too dry for me to look for mfg tags right now.

    "Uncontested - The Champ"

    Thanks, guys. I was lucky to get it, even though it's small, but the seller estimated its size even smaller so that almost nobody would have bought it, but I figured he was wrong about the size, which turned out to be the case.

    "Uncontested - The Champ"

    Champ Supreme, 4X Quality, 100 percent White Coney. Has 2 3/4 inch brim and 5 1/2 inch open crown. No mfg tags. I know Champ was said to be a step down in quality from the major brands like Knox and Dobbs, etc, but if you told me this was a $15 or $20 hat when sold, I wouldn't doubt it for a...
