To my knowledge, the hat mutes are meant to muffle the noise, not be a tight enough fit to stifle it.- Louis Mountbatten

Hmmm. Seems like some mixing and matching on that one. Maybe the hat was just added to the case later somehow? I'd need some really strong evidence that the 100 case belong to Truman, too.

On that Truman hat, that was not made "for" Truman himself. It was made for his presidential library. Stetson also made them for Reagan's, Nixon's and and LBJ's libraries. I have one from both the Reagan and LBJ stores.- Louis Mountbatten

Well, at least he didn't get your hopes up that the hat was in a nice Stetson box. I had just the opposite happen. I bought an auction of a Stetson where the seller mentioned the box and showed that it was a pristine box. Then he slathered it in tape and sent it without an outer box. Not only...- Louis Mountbatten

I am glad the doc got them both. It kills my soul to sell these two rare items. But I am in bad financial shape right now and just have no choice but to sell. Wish I never had to because these two hats are amazing.- Louis Mountbatten
