    Stetson Stuff

    That is an AMAZING find! Its very likely his real signature! Considering the company was only 12 years old at the time, I would have to assume that major invoices ($152.28 was a lot of money back then) would have passed his desk for approval. Many letters in both signatures look to be...

    Pre 1940s dress hats

    I love the square crowned derbies. They are pretty hard to come by.
