Post New Hats Here!
Thanks Moe. It may be the case with this hat that it was made for Wanamaker by Cavanagh but has no Cavanagh signature on it. Like your Pimbell. -

Now if I could get this one to say, " I'm a frayed Knox" my mystery would be solved! -

The frayed ribbon, and the style of ribbon, was what first made me think it was a Cavanagh. I could see it in the sellers EBay pictures. Here's a picture of my late 1930's Cavanagh on top of the Mystery hat for bow comparison: -

I just got this one.... Sort of a mystery hat. I think it's late 1930's / early 40's. The only brand markings on it , "John Wanamaker" in gold on the unreeded sweat. Felt is extremely clay-like. Cavanagh edge and a Cav looking frayed ribbon. A search of the FL under "Wanamaker" mentions... -
