Thanks Max. Yes, it is a super hat and a unique feel.

Congrats, Randy!
I have a couple of Beaver 50s, and I like the way you described the felt.
My first 50 I bought from Gunloader. It was in Bowen's care, and that is why his balcony appears in the first pic. The second I got on eBay, and is stiffer still, because it's more Western.
The last four pics are of a Churchill One Hundred that used to belong to Alan, and three pictures are his. The felt in the One Hundred is even better than the felt in the 50s, IMO, although some opine that the difference in price between a 50 and a 100 was due to the cost of the leather case.

I still recall the first time I saw Alan’s photos of the 100. A 50 or 100 is a bucket list hat for me. The 50 I had for a couple of weeks (it was a couple sizes too small) was nicer than any of the three Stetson One-Hundreds that have passed through my hands.

True, true.

I still think the Dobbs 50 is nicer than the Churchill 50, though

I’m going to have to take your word for it.
Have you picked up the Knox 50 yet?

Hmmm. Categories would make it easier, yes.
Have you seen my Instagram page, B? They are all there.

The Instagram catalog would be useful in getting a rider on your insurance to cover your hats.

Looking forward to it, Daniele
The liner could have been added later of course as a replacement. It certainly has the hallmarks of and older hat and the liner seems newer to me. The shape and style of the hat remind me of the Sools hat, also of unknown origin, you once found for me (I don't wear it enough - mea culpa). Note the same tall crown, wide overwelt brim and wide ribbon.

It is certain that the Tenisci is an assembly of an old felt and a new lining and sweatband. The shape and finish make one think of an old hat, as well as the ribbon and the bow. Who knows? The seller said he inherited them, but nothing else he knew.
Of course the Sools for some details is "very" French, this seems a unique piece starting from something already existing.
I'm glad you admit guilt, Sools deserves a few tour in Netherlands

Second, a wonderful purchase from a fantastic Lounger and, in my opinion, an expert in all thing German hats - Steve @mayserwegener

A beautiful 20's/30's model Mauerer bowler from Austria. Perfect condition with a frayed bow and a wonderful pleated liner. Thank you, Steve.

A Two hat, new hat day today. First, an eBay find last week. I wanted to get it home and unwrapped before I posted this Churchill Beaver 50 OR Clone. Smooth putty like felt is very comparable to the 7XCB's I have handled but the felt is stiffer (nothing like modern hats). About as close to NOS condition as I have ever found.

Very nice ! Is there a blue hue, or just the camera ? Looks beautiful on my screen.

A throwback Thursday offering... and a job I might have enjoyed in another life. 1940s National Parks Service uniform found in a thrift store in Columbus OH and a 1930s Stetson No.1 Quality campaign style hat.

After seeing this post by Alan I had to find a Campaign Hat !
I wanted to be a National Park Ranger when I was a kid with all the camping we did.

finally found one on Goodwill and only $12. It may be more of a military one since it’s olive drab, but I haven’t found any info on a Stetson 3X like this. Seems most are wool and have vent holes.

Just the camera, Tim, or the monitor. It has a bit of a green cast (in the right light) similar to many SB's I've seen in the past. Otherwise, mid-gray all the way.
