The frayed ribbon in particular was a trademark of '10s-'30s hats, along with the proportions and non-tapering crown.

Disney Fifteen
A little soiled but in otherwise excellent condition. 2 1/2" brim with custom edge with a 4 3/4" crown as shown (5 3/4 open crown) which is wrapped in a 1 3/4" grosgrain ribbon with wind trolley. The liner has a plastic or cellophane cover and the sweatband is unreeded. Not sure about the age on this one. I'm thinking late 40s or early 50s!. The unreeded sweatband is throwing me off since I don't know that many American hat companies who were using unreeded sweatbands in the 50s. I've read some discussion about DuPont "Aridex" water repellent on one of the threads that could also help date it.

Not sure what you mean by non-tapering crown, unless you are just referring to a fairly "straight" block. But I'd be careful judging a hats age by proportion. With the pictures you posted and having no tags or sweatmarks, I wouldn't want to guess the age of that hat.
Here is an example from a hat ad. What age would everyone guess this hat at, based on proportions. Hat is listed with a 4 3/4 crown and 2 1/2 inch brim.

I'm guessing that the "F F" on the Disney sweatband stands for Freakin' Fantastic... it certainly is!
Ok, Buler, I'll bite... We might guess 50's by the proportions; but is it the 30's?

Ok. I have to get going. So I'll give out the answer. That hat is from the Fall of 1909. See my recent ad posting to the Schoble thread.
Tom was only 10 years off!!! Nice going.

There is always a first time... well I was expecting a Resistol Stagecoach but this was what arrived...
Seller mixed hats and send them to wrong buyers. Box was not good so it arrived in this condition. Waiting to know if the other person wants to exchange hats (seller says it will pay postage). Since it is a 57 (7 1/8) it does not fit my head. If it would fit I might keep it since it have a 3 1/2" brim. I didn't know Stetson made hats in Spain. Spanish weird names... "silverbilly" and Westem"... maybe silverbelly and Western?
