Saw this today, thought I would share. This is vintage, pre WWII? I can say this, it was the heaviest and stiffest hat I have ever handled. The quality of the leather hat band was a thing of beauty. A side note, the shot of the underside, I don't believe those are cracks, just wrinkles...
Thanks! I have been in super busy season at work, but that has given me many months of honest wear.
