    The Dobbs Diner...

    The Dobbs Diner...

    Stetson Medalist History?

    Same hat after being cleaned and reshaped and the original sweatband being sewn back on at Paris Hatters. Looks good as new! I had said this was a late 1930's hat, but it could date into the very early 1940's.

    Alexander Hats

    G W Alexander Boy Scout campaign hat. The texture of the sweatband is the same as on the U S military campaign hat in my post #45 above here. It's not smooth but has a look that vaguely resembles tree bark, etc. This Scout hat seems to date somewhere from the 1910's to the mid 1930's.

    Caxton cafe

    Caxton Phoenix 4X Beaver Twelve-Fifty. Has 3 3/4 inch brim. I would leave the original crease in the hat except it makes the crown so shallow that the hat just barely sits on the very top of my head.
