Great gets Mark! Pretty exciting to find them locally -- and it saves on shipping!

Yep, a nice end to Fathers Day indeed!!!
That’s a beauty!Good evening gentlemen, here I have an item of interest at auction: a Stephen L. Stetson fedora. It seems to be in nice condition and I’ve never seen any hats from them before. It also looks to be quite old.
I did research and discovered the history and background of the company, but did not encounter conclusive comments on the quality or value of their hats. I saw a couple threads on the Lounge which referenced a guide thread back in 2009, but I couldn’t access it. If any of you have knowledge about this hat, I’ll be glad to have your input.
Respectfully,
Brian
Oh dear.. I hate when that happens.A defeat.
Wasn't feeling too well on Sunday so laid down "for a minute" ... three hours later I had missed the ends of these auctions and, of course, lost out.
This Stetson Select Quality sold for $18. Size 7.

I hope someone here ended up with them.
I have it on good authority the Select Quality will end up in good hands
I’d call this a victory. A $42 bid won this 1900-1915 Stetson. The size was not listed and I figured it would be the usual 6-7/8 to 7-1/8, but it turned out to be a seldom seen 7-1/2! Woot!
As arrived. I haven’t steamed it or done any cleaning.
