Liner could have been added later, of course. Since it has a new sweat, there is no telling if the liner was orig. to the hat.- Louis Mountbatten

Ha, ha. Fortunately, it was not so painful because it was never more than 3 or 4 at a time. Usually one or two. But, yeah, cumulatively, a LOT of boxing up of hats.- Louis Mountbatten

Holy, moley, what a catch. I have one with the box. But that box is 100 times harder to find than the hat! The hats do come up once in a while.- Louis Mountbatten

Dating Your Hat (A Place to Discuss the Age of Your Vintage Hat)
The black sweatband is the biggest give away. Prior to the 60s they were almost never black. The union tag is also 60s era as is the maker name printed on top of the leather instead of engraved.- Louis Mountbatten

I know we've talked about this before. Often you see this hat mistakenly advertised on ebay as a man's "low" top hat. But it is a woman's hat used in business or day-time situations. from about 1900s to 1920 or so Not a hat for evening wear.

The Saddle Roll probably had a western-styled turn to the brim originally and a western pinch, too. I think someone reworked that one to be more like a fedora at some pint. The saddle roll was originally a western/cowboy hat.- Louis Mountbatten
