A doozy...
She's a doozy, huh?! I told you'd love it... What a great hat!
From what I was told by the owner of Hirsch's, Stetson stopped supplying the store in '48, and Lee was the brand they chose to replace Stetson.
Soooo... Without any input from experts like BK or Art, I'd say this hat is very late '40's or early '50's.

I just received my latest acquisition. Johnny, do you know how old this one is?
It's a dark, cloudy day, making pictures difficult, but I had to try. I couldn't contain my excitement on this one. Only one pic came out good, but here it is.
Lee Trinity.
The flash seems to wash out the richness of the gray color, which seem like a deep pewter to me. It might be super-conservative, but it is beautiful anyway. Worth every hard earned penny.
Surprisingly, it turned out to be a long oval. Lee didn't put it on the size tag, but on the sweatband... sneaky. Fits great, though. At least now I know I can wear LO without a problem!
Thank you Johnny, for doing these auctions. It has proven the only way for me to get my hands on vintage lids in my size and style preference. (Except for one kindly member, who sold me my first Trinity last year!)
