Found Hat!

I recently found this hat at a thrift store and I am trying to find its age and value. Byer Rolnick changed to Resistol in 1926, Norton Ditto opened in 1908. So I’m sure it’s between those dates. Let me know if you have an idea or know more about this hat!!

Byer-Rolnick did not disappear until 1967. The Bon-Ton Ivy style sweatband is not quite as well executed as those from the early part of the 20th century. Based on the the sweatband color, the debossing style and the factory info tag I would estimate this boater to be from the late 1950s to mid-1960s.

It looks great! I hope you enjoy wearing it.
