The "...deal with the Amon Carter Shady Oaks" is that it was a made for one hatter in Ft. Worth as a style worn by oilman Amon Carter of Ft. Worth under license to Stetson BY Peter Bros. of Ft. Worth. They were top of the line, all beaver hats and that crease was as Amon Carter wore. Peter Bros. STILL makes that model only it no longer is a labeled as a Stetson, it is an in house model, their BEST and currently sells in the $700.00 to $1,000.00 range. You have a RARE and valuable hat, take good care of it That model was probably made in the 40's/50's BTW.
Not familiar with the model, but I would have guessed 1960's-70's.
Enjoy it, Terry!
