The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Two questions, examples of both in a single photo I just ripped from the bay: ∙ Are these black and silver (metal?) initial markers generally associated with a certain time period? ∙ Does "Qualitá Exportation" have any usefulness in saying anything about the quality of the felt? -

Looks lke you nailed that one. The price label shown above has only a hint of a red smudge in the bottom-left cell. The loose removable copy has a big red 7 there. -

Maybe I have joined the Brotherhood?... ???... --- Got this pretty little black trilby with a Qualita Superiore liner and gold print on the sweat that seems to be that of Borsalino, plus a cute little "feet" pin on the bow. (Hat sits a a little high in the photos because of being too small... -
