Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

I found this interesting. I don't think I've seen a hat labeled Hat Corporation of America.

No idea, Max. The Kaufmanns I picked up for my wife is the first "by Dalton" I've seen. The lack of a cellophane liner tip says maybe pre-50s to me, though. Same as the Kaufmanns. The re-order tag may hold some clues.

I'll be happy to take a closer look; just send it my way.

And I prefer Charlie's Duke of Dalton, to be honest.

Hahahaha. Duke has a ring to it, but King reigns.

Middle management is OK with me. Being King sounds like more meetings and paperwork.

I’m pretty sure the Crofut and Knapp I picked up a few weeks ago had a similar labeling on it. I’ll have to check later. In the case of the C&K I believe it was a rather late 60’s early 70s with a real short brim and glued in liner.

Best,
Joe

I love this.

"An New older 1970s Stetson SilverBelly No.1 Quality Gentleman's Cowboy Hat. Dad and I agreed after watching those old Bonanza cowboy TV a series each Saturday that the Little Joe Cartwright going out to town or the impress the girl hat was this style, not a SilverBelly though.

This was probably the end of the soft shell hats that were No.1 Quality. The felt is supersoft and very thick. Today's rating would make it a 20-30X. No.1 Quality was their higher quality hat, made from Stetsons finest felts. They had NO 20X or 30X ratings back then.

These old ones were extremely well made!"

I LOVE fedora ribbons on "cowboy" hats. I'd be all over it if it were a 7 1/4.

Here it is

I'm wondering if this was something they did in later days with a lot of production maybe comingled

It was the only one I had seen too.

Best,
Joe

Finally snuck one past you.

Thanks! I had a wonderful day playing golf, so it was worth missing it.

Is it the elusive MacLachlan 100?

If it were, golf wouldn't have been worth missing it.

Well you know what they say about golf. Just a good walk spoiled.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's probably not the elusive 100 since there is no liner and just a tip sticker. Looks to maybe be a lighter weight summer hat. Will find out in a few days. Still excited, nevertheless, as it'll be my first Mac Lachlan.

I do have to be careful what I say around here, else I'll get beat by said limb. I've probably already said more than I should.

Could have kept Max at least a bit worried about it for probably a week or so, Jonathan

You must be mistaking me with someone else. Even if I knew a lot about hats, I wouldn't think of it as a big deal. If I knew a lot about investments or medicine, I might. [emoji4]

Ha! I thought this was gonna go for about $350, so I bid that. I won it for 47.
I think it's from the 40s.

Good get Max! I like that one a lot.

Great get, Doc. I think the fact it's a homburg and black limits the market. Nevertheless, $47 is a steal. I expected it to sell for much more, though not $350.

It also looks like it might have the gold foil keyhole tag, which I think places it in the 1930s. (See Alan's comment on my Stetson topper.)

I'm kind if thinking and hoping it's a pencil-roll.
