    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    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...

    Pre 1940s dress hats

    Thanks, Alan!! I most certainly thought about the possibility of the company using old tags post-1893. They changed names due to change in partners and legal reasons. I am not sure if they would use the older companies name after lawsuits made them change it and partners. The sweatband stitching...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Thanks, Brad! I had thought about the union tag as well and tried to find some sort of info dating the tag to pre-1896. i was unable to find anything. The thing that has me baffled is that Leach, Baird & Wiley took ownership in 1894 of the company that was formally known as Baird & Levi due to...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    1890 - 1893 Baird & Levi Brown Derby I received this one this weekend and it is spectacular! I love these old brown derbies. You might be wondering how I narrowed the dates of this derby down to about a 3 year span……well…….I did a bit of research last night. In the auction, the seller did not...

    Alphonse Capone's Hat

    I very respectfully disagree about the 52 or Columbia block, Ole. I own both 52 blocks and blocks marked Columbia. The Columbia blocks are the straightest sided and flattest topped blocks I have ever seen, even more so than the 52's. I have handled a good amount of 20's/30's European hats and...

    Garrett's Easter Sale

    While head size is always a factor, I have also experienced exactly what Garrett has said. When hats are offered on the lounge in the classifieds......they sit.....and sit.....and sit, until they are posted on ebay. Garrett, like many of us do, advertise prices with SHIPPING INCLUDED. When...

    Alphonse Capone's Hat

    This question has been asked numerous times and to be honest there is really no definitive answer. We CAN make some assumptions though.....Capone had quite the yearly income and based on the fact that he liked very nice objects, we can assume that his hats were fairly expensive and higher end. I...

    Garrett's Easter Sale

    These ARE great deals, Garrett!! I guess there is only a select few on the lounge anymore who really appreciate the pre-40's stuff. 3-4 years ago this stuff would be flying off the shelves. Now....if the hats said WHIPPET on them.........different story.
