Yeah...I think you nailed the final price in on of your 1st posts.
Thank you all for your help and knowledge in getting this nice hat to the proud new owner.
(Was this any of you guys/gals who won?)
It's internet slang for "Original Gangster".
Usually refers to someone more authentic for pre-dating fads before it was trendy, cool, etc.
("Been there - done that")
Think dimestore cowboys- vs. -ranch hands.
In the line of one of my personal interests, I've been collecting LP records since...
Thanks @Just Daniel
Funny thing here...
I grew up in the south, lived in Texas many years and have only owned 1 hat (baseball caps excluded).
I actually found a copy of my old hat from when I was a teenager for sale on eBay.

(yes, it's pretty pathetic compared to some of the...
I'm finding that out during this process.
The (somewhat) odd thing about this particular auction, I have several Asian country bidders...
No disparagement, but I didn't expect this much interest in Asia.
I expected at least some activity for the hats I've listed, what with the popularity of...
Thank you @drmaxtejeda for contacting me.
I appreciate the info on the Ermine...
looked up the posts on yours, and the refurb looks great!
Will you get this "BOP" refurbished as well?
Thank you (and others) for all your help in determining approx. production date.
Regardless, it's a nice vintage One Hundred, and I hope the winner enjoys it.
-Cheers!
WOW!
That is some great information @Just Daniel
Thanks so much.
So, you're telling me it's really difficult to peg when Stetson produced this hat.
They used parts with these dating clues for 20+ years between the 1940's - 1960's, and since Stetson introduced the 100 in 1952, mine is...
Thanks @MikeinRome , I really appreciate all your time spent helping educate me.
Totally unrelated question...
I've perused this forum, and it appears the majority of discussions are polite, cordial & friendly.
Is that the general tone of this forum?
I left most online audio/music forums...
Questions for the experts here...
-the inner liner is plastic covered, the size tag is square, the hatband is thin and the box is circular (non-suitcase) with the leather strap...all pointing to 1960's + (right?)
-the inner liner is muted goldish and not colored logo, and the sweatband is the...
Thanks for looking @MikeinRome.
Yes, it's currently @ $520 (reserve met), and about 6 days left on the auction.

This hat was my wife's Great Uncle Jimmy's (initials in hatband).
We believe it was a gift from his sister (we called her Grammy).
During the 1950's, Grammy worked directly for the Neiman Marcus family taking care of the family heirs, and throughout...
One of the forum members clued me in that the tag might make it an early 1960s model??
Let me know what you all think. Again thanks to everyone for all the help.
Sorry for the confusion @AbbaDatDeHat
I've had an eBay account for over 20 years, but rarely sell anything there...until my Father-in-law passed away.
Thanks for the interest and any help on this.
(it's a PITA going through a dead relative's things)
Thanks @MikeinRome for helping out...(I'm kind of a Red Forman-type 'dumbass" at times)
The tag was tucked, and I did a double check.
(photos of size tag are in revised listing)
Thanks.
Believe it or not, I had to delete the bid.
You're reply made me double check, and low & behold...it's actually size 7 1/4...not size 7
It's relisted as this...
