    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    Stetson authentic Tom Mix model Clear Nutria. Lot Number 5792. Has 5 inch bound brim and 7 1/2 inch open crown. The Lot Number makes me estimate this hat 1920's to 1930. The liner is sewn in as an original liner would be. If there's a reorder tag, it's buried behind the liner and heavy stitching...

    Western, anyone?

    Yes, that's the one I bought. I contacted them earlier and had them send me extra photos of both hats to make sure I knew what was going on with them. Actually, it was sort of a blessing that the Miller hat was mislabeled as the Tom Mix because it diverted attention away from my real Tom Mix and...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    To celebrate me finding a real big boy's Stetson Tom Mix hat earlier today, I'm wearing a little boy's Tom Mix Jr I got a while back. It doesn't say it on the hat, but I think this is a Clear Nutria also.

    Western, anyone?

    Miller "The Rancher" hat, probably 1930's to early 40's, along with a Stetson Tom Mix hat box that doesn't belong with it, but belongs with my Tom Mix hat. This Miller was wrongly listed at auction as a Tom Mix, apparently because it was stuck in a Tom Mix box. I tried to buy this hat and box...

    I'm posting that Miller The Rancher hat on another thread. If anyone on the Lounge bought it and wants to sell me the Stetson box, message me. Otherwise, the new Miller owner may go to their grave swearing they own a genuine Tom Mix Stetson. Lol!!

    Stetson Tom Mix Clear Nutria hat. Looks like 1930's. Has 5 inch brim and probably 7 1/2 inch open crown. Made for the Bloom Co. in Sheridan Wyoming. I won this hat in an auction today. The hat box for this hat was wrongly sold in another Lot a long with a vintage Miller "The Rancher" model hat...

    Someone asked me what kind of cloth is the liner made of in my Clear Beaver Knox Forty. It's not the shiny, slick satin that's in 1950's Knox Fortys or in Stetson 100s, so I guess it's made of silk. It hadn't occurred to me that it would be different from later hats.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    1950's Knox Twenty. Said to be olive green. Has regular Knox HCA mfg tag but also the more uncommon HCA tag. One tag says 6 7/8 and the other says 7 and a fraction. It has a nice Cavanagh Edge and for $25 I couldn't resist.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Late 1940's Mallory Fifteen. This was one of the first decent hats I bought and the first one I ever sent to have professionally cleaned and worked on by Paris Hatters.

    My 1930's-40's Knox Forty Clear Beaver that arrived today.

    The School of Hard Knox

    If so, they would have had to come up with a Forty liner, which this is. On the other hand, if this hat has been through 2 sweatbands, maybe that's a sign of greater age. Added note: This liner is old enough that it has never had any kind of oil silk or plastic on it. Note: The Hatted Professor...

    So do you think that liner was used back in the 30's or early 40's? I do think the feel of this felt seems to have more of a beaver feel than the other 50's Forty that I posted on this page. As I check it yet again, I swear I think you are correct and this IS one of those Beaver Fortys, Brad!

    Pre 1940s (non-Stetson) Westerns

    I'm guessing this is a pre-1940's hat, but not sure. Seems to be wool, but not sure. Brim is 3 3/4 inches to the curl, 4 inches overall. Has 7 inch open crown. It was suggested to me that this might be a Sears hat.

    I said these tags seem to reappear more often in early 50's Cavanagh hats but I can't swear that's true. It's not like I've done a systematic review of all the different HCA brand hats to see how many of these tags are around.
