I don't know either, but you can email me if you'd like. I was just in between jobs here. You can find a 52 block, I'd bet on it.

Art did have some early 1950's vintage (extremely light weight) hat bodies. I would contact him and ask for a price. Wouldn't hurt.

Bob, you have me an idea. I have a few old Mallory bodies, I couldn't afford all of them she had, I just took a few. I should weigh one, and compare it to a staple in that same size hood.

Absolutely and they'll be even lighter once they're pounced and brims cut back.

Sounds maybe you are forming using your fingers, a little tight??
Work in the direction of the pounce also. Not against the grain, for lack of better words. Did your finish get messed up?

Last spring I had Mike at NW Hats make up a summer weight felt. He used the standard Winchester Beaver and pounced it to a lighter weight hat on the crown and left the brim standard. I am certain he would do one for you in Rabbit as well. Also, I considered getting the top of the crown ventilated but in the end opted not to. I guess the down side is he is about a 3-4 month wait that would you to September.

My current creation at Mike's is a Playboy clone, he is pouncing it light, and finishing the inside of the hat as well.

So I acquired this Knox Tom n Jerry a short while ago. Cleaned it up and it looks pretty good except for the back of the bow. How do I fix this?
I'm not far from Peter Brothers but it just seems like this should be something I should be able to correct myself.

1960's or 1970's? Double stack?

The back end just needs a couple of stitches in it. You'll have to fold down the sweatband (assuming it's in good shape), and work up under the liner to get to them, but you should be able to pick out where the old stitches were. Smooth it down first with some steam and drop a stitch in the top and one in the bottom of the bow and that should do it.
And fix that wind trolley.

Never quite sure of those. I think always assumed 50s-60s. They seem to have moved strictly to square boxes once the 60s were in full swing.

All the ones I have seen are obviously oval shaped for a Western with the side roll.

looks like a little steam and attention will remedy that to me ... the trolley needs a little TLC as well

That's round? Every commercial box I've ever seen was oval, except for ladies' boxes. And the square ones, of course.

No, as I said it's oval.

Sorry, misunderstood your post. I'm referring to this:
These seem to have begun turning up in the 50s.
