This is only the second one I've seen. In fact, it may be the same one I bid on and lost a couple years ago. I came up short on this one, too; however, the winner didn't pony up and I was afforded a second chance offer.HA!!!

Thanks, Jim. I'm glad I got it.Love the light hats, Stefan - and love that it's a Dalton. Good get, wear it in good health.
Nice catch, Jim. I didn't follow it until the end, but it didn't go for much, did it? Looks to be in very good condition.Dalton #7. Photo is eBay's. More to come upon delivery.

Too small for me at 6 7/8, but it's Mrs. Fruno's size. Sold originally out of Kaufman's in Pittsburgh, it has a Kaufman, rather than Dalton, liner. there were only 4 pics to go on, so I'm curious on what's hiding in there I haven't seen.

A fine looking hat, Jim. The pics give a much better idea about the hat than the original auction shots.Here are some shots of the Dalton I picked up for my wife on eBay last week. All of the markings are from Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh. However, a debossment on the sweat says "by Dalton." Very nice felt, rather heavy and dense. Overwelt brim with some decorative stitching, and the teal ribbon is great. Not a lot behind the sweatband, just a generic black and white size tag. You wouldn't know it's a Dalton if not for the sweatband. She likes it, so it's a win.

That's a nice find, Jim. I'm usually not all that keen on self felted ribbons, but this one works very well I think.The latest. Dalton "Beaver Suede Finish." Interesting felted ribbon/bow treatment. Also note the "Controlled Brim." I believe this to be the brim treatment patented by Harry Siegelbaum, the President of the Dalton Hat Company. If it weren't for a light little critter nibbling, I'd call it pristine.

Open Crown: 5 1/2"
Brim Width: 2 3/4" with that I would call an overwelt with a decorative stitch.
On with the pics...

The patent referenced above indicates a rubber tube being inside here. Not sure about that, it pretty much feels like an overwelt. Additionally, the patent describes the brim treatment as being for hats with a lower quality of felt. The felt is rather thick and dense, but I think it's not "lower quality." Not certain if a lower quality hat would feature a Beaver Suede Finish. However, the liner on this one doesn't have a quality designation (Regal Quality, etc.), that we've seen in some other Daltons. I think I'll avoid cutting it open to see.
