Original Stetson Hat Size Tags and Plastic Holder
Hello. Anyone interested in this nice little set? Cracks in the plastic as seen in the photos. These tags were the kind put down in the ribbon so buyers could quickly see what size the hat was in the store. $70 plus $15 shipping.- Louis Mountbatten

Be careful with this. Before taking off the wider ribbon, make sure the hat has not faded above the band but is still the original color underneath. The last thing you want is to take off a ribbon and then have two different colors of felt showing.- Louis Mountbatten

Dating Vintage Stetsons by size tag
That tag was used in the 60s. Stetson was no longer making the straw hats and buying them from a supplyer at that time. And they pretty much abandoned the long oval sizes by then, too.- Louis Mountbatten

It is just an "Imperial." Made in the UK. It doesn't have a model name other than that. Imperial was the quality point and was more expensive than the regular "Royal" and "De Luxe."- Louis Mountbatten

Yeah, that is goofy. Maybe the word "Model"... then a large "s". But that thing at the end??? Maybe an R?- Louis Mountbatten

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Both. Sellers can opt out of using the ebay global shipping program and they can charge their own shipping fee. But, a seller does have to directly click the opt out, otherwise ebay puts any overseas sale into the global shipping program and leaves the seller no choice on costs.

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
It is "legit" just on the surface. If you want to sell it to him at the price he offered, cancel the auction, tell the guy you are ready to put it up for a "buy it now" at the price he offered, and ask him about when he is ready so that you can post the buy it now and he won't miss it. Then post...- Louis Mountbatten
