I"m led to believe that this Knox vented derby is my oldest hat. Some votes have been from the late 19 teens to 1920s. Pretty sure it would still predate my 1928 Kaufman derby. This is a treasure.
Mine is a Whippet, likely from the 40's, though I have a feeling by the tag, liner, and brim style, late 40's (unless someone can chime in with a better idea):
I think I may have just sold my oldest hat, but a close second to it my vintage Strat from the 1940's. They say you know your hat is getting up there as soon as it asks to borrow the car.....lol!
