View attachment 76988 This one? Looks 60s, my Mallory has this look, with a wider brim.
Lots of "keep it under your Stetson" ads. Typical for the period. I could only find one ad that talked about a specific model and that was a Whippet. The one you found may be the one they produced. Checked the online digitized magazines from WWII, but they did not have any hat ads.Thanks Mike
Looking for more ads from around the time it came out ... 42-43 era.
There seems to be only one

This is the one I remember seeing. Classic WWII imagery, the swastika sets the tone for the times. Is it a half page ad in a magazine?Found this one from '43 ... thanks for your help Mike

Fantastic DougI found this one, bottom right on a Idle Words Make Busy Subs, Keep it Under Your Stetson Ad:
That is a much later version of the EagleLiner shot from an old Etsy listing. This was listed as a 50's hat, but had a stingy brim like the one in the ad Red posted.

That version didn't resemble the original at all ... kind of like the Playboy II had nothing in common with the original Playboy.
This Eagle pictured Looks to be 60s... I'm interested in the original 40s version
That ad you posted is fantastic
if we are talking vintage ... Stratoliner and OR have slightly different dimensions ... Stratoliner is much more of a fedora for lack of a better description ... and the felt often feels quite differentOK kids. So what's the difference between the Stetson Open Road, Stratoliner and 25? They look like variations of the same theme.

Fair enough. Stratoliner was looking like a OR with a shorter crown in most pictures I saw. Apart from the pin I couldn't tell the difference.if we are talking vintage ...

OR will always have a wind trolley
and 25 is just a price designation of an OR ... it was a step up in quality from the basic OR and the quality went up to 100
