For the first 2 it's probably early 50's.

RobStC said:Many thanks for this sort of info, Billyspew, and for posting so much on this thread. I've got a couple of Adams' on the way from Jonnyphi - didn't check out his stock until most of the gems had gone :eusa_doh: - but very much looking forward to joining the Adam Alley soon.
You have some really nice hats, by the way..... (as if you didn't already know that!)

This is a new Adams that I picked up from ebay. Original price tag of $8.95 is still in there and I have to say, it is the loosest 7 1/4 I've tried on. I still think I prefer it brim snapped down, but maybe it'll grow on me. When I snap the brim up, it reminds me of Jon Cryer in Sixteen Candles. I know he had big hair and it wasn't a porkpie, but it's the connotation of geeky best friend that I don't like.
Yay, my first membership to one of the clubs on the FL!

Any chance of posting the detailing on the liner, sweatband and anything under the sweatband?
