Two very nice finds, Bob. Good to hear one of them fits you.

Thanks for the verification Stefan!
I've had a couple of these Torinos pass through before. Very nice, but none have fit (and they are a bit on the stingy side).
Thanks Steve!

Biltmore Imperial homburg in size 62cm or 7 3/4 US. It’s an odd little hat. The appearance belies the supposed 2 5/8” wide brim. The color, willow, is why I bought it. It’s a very thick and robust felt even for a Biltmore, and not quite what I was expecting. The binding has a woven/finished edge, but the crown ribbon is petersham. The felt color shifts from light gray to a pale mint green, but the green is not as strong as Winchester’s version of willow. The shape and proportions are not my usual thing, but it’s an interesting hat all the same.
That is a dandy of a hat, Brent. The subtle green hue certainly brings out the overall light grey and white colours.
Great looking tight shape to it.

A Lee “New Whirl” Bronze Label.
Crofut & Knapp Fifteen. This one fits and is my favorite of the lot!
The color at the bottom of the label is “Pecan”.

Royal Deluxe Stetson. A nice example of this ‘50s/60s model.
Dobbs Rancher Twenty. I was going to leave this behind as I could not take all nine hats and hat boxes in this lot. It is mothed up pretty bad on the crown, but was a nice hat once and could be again if turned inside out and repounced. The embroidered liner is cool.

Interesting saddle stitching on the brim of that Lee.
The Crofut and Knapp is absolutely gorgeous

Old boater by (or for) Young’s Hats.
Cavanagh Milan made in Italy. This one also fits. I can come up with some sort of band.
The Cavanagh factory sticker is on the inside of the sweat (you can see the corner of it). Just a reorder number and the size.

You're on a roll Bob with these recent finds. Even though only a few of them fit, I'm sure you'll find some good homes for the rest.
Your service to us who are somewhat smaller headed is greatly appreciated.

A pith helmet that seems to have played the role of a helmet at one time. Dated 1948.
And a bunch of ball caps, a Kangol cap, a leather Harley Davison cap, a Mexican soccer scarf and a cologne gift set.

Thanks Joe! Not sure what I think about that Lee brim treatment. Cool to have the model documented anyway.
Thanks Steve! What my wife doesn’t keep will hit the ‘Bay. I’ll probably wait until Spring on the straws.

So I have finally taken some pictures of my Cavanagh Paddock in Loden that arrived earlier in the week. As I have been told it is kind of a chameleon color. With my bright indoor lights it is a bright green with brown overtones. I had posted a picture of me outside on an extremely overcast day and it looks more dark moss color. It was advertised as NOS and it shows signs of such your can see the impression from the sweat band from the hat that was on top of it. The sweat band feels dry but not brittle. It has ~4 3/4" crown and ~2 1/8" brim.
Impressive haul, Bob. This Lee is a very interesting one. Don't think we've seen this brim treatment before. The Crofut looks glorious. Is that a suede finish to the felt?

Thanks Reggie! I'm afraid the box will have to live with the tape. I tried to pull a bit of it and it was taking the color layer off the cardboard.
Thanks Stefan! The C&K seems like it has a suede finish. Very touchable.
