Stetson Stuff
After reading these articles, I thought of Henry Ford as well. It just goes to show how big of a company Stetson was and how much money they were making pre-1900. It would appear that he treated his employees VERY well and we have seen the kind of wonderful products they turned out in the early... -
Longley, Low & Alexander catalog
Did the Longley Hat company go out of business with the death of Albert Longley? So about 1929/1930? I just received a Longley Soft hat that appears to be late 1920's/or very early 30's in styling and construction. I have never seen any ad from Longley past the late 20's. I will try to post... -

Stetson Stuff
I thought this was VERY interesting..... From an edition of The Memphis Daily Appeal., January 06, 1883 Good ole' John B spent $20,000 in Christmas gifts for his employees in 1883!! That was a TON of money back then. I also read in several articles from the 1880's that he paid life insurance... -
Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
This is from an edition of the Daily Los Angeles herald., January 22, 1884 It shows that the 1X quality designation goes back as far as 1884 and most likely even earlier. -
Early STETSON Models- ads Pre-Depression
This awesome ad is from an 1882 edition of the "Sacramento Daily Record-Union., March 15, 1882" Not only does the ad show John B. Stetson's Signature, but a trademark stamp for "Clear Back Nutria" that I have never seen before. It is broken into 3 images because the ad took up almost the... -

Hall and Hall CO. Hats
Thank you for your addition, Steve. I am not too familiar with Euro stiff felts, but after reading through every American Hatter issue in the last 2 years, I can usually pick out certain traits of American derbies that indicate them to be older than 20's/30's. Do European styling trends in... -
Hall and Hall CO. Hats
I know, I am not accusing you. I am simply saying, that many people assume derbies are much older than most of them we see really are. The true pre-1910 derbies often do not show up and many we see on ebay are from the 20's/30's. -
Hall and Hall CO. Hats
well........... Though in the late 1800's and early 1900's styles changed drastically every couple of years, the characteristics of early derbies often do not show up in the 20's/30's where most derbies did all look very similar. Here's an example: Very Late 1890's Howard Derby TALL... -

Hall and Hall CO. Hats
Why? That derby says 1920's/1930's to me. I own several 1890's/1900's derbies and the proportions are not only drastically different than guitarmasta12's hat, but the printing font on the liner and reorder tag scream 20's/30's. There is no way to prove that until further research is done, but I... -

Look for the Union Label
I just found this article from a 1901 American Federalist Journal. It does state the 1896 date, but also says: "It may be well to state, however, that in 1885 both national organizations met through the agency of their respective boards of directors, and adopted a union label, calling it the...
