Hey all!
I went back to the thrift store where I bought that G1 to see if the detachable collar had been donated with it. I spoke to the manager, who told me she'd ask the folks who were sorting when it came in. She also invited me to look around the sorting area in case it was sitting in a "what the heck is this" pile. Didn't see it, but I did spot a pair of hats, nearly identical, and had to check them out. A Pilgrim and a Brent, both in near minty condition. Asked for dibs when they were priced. She said make an offer. I offered 40 bucks for the pair, expecting a counter offer. She just said Deal!

Here's the Brent.

The crown is 5" open, brim 2 5/8". Band is 1" , bound in 1/4" ribbon. 125g total weight.
I know I'm not the best at dating hats, but I'll venture a guess of mid 50's. Any input always welcome!
Now to get pics of the Pilgrim.

The crown on this one is 5 1/4" open, brim is 2 5/8". 1" band, 1/4" binding. 130g, fake wind trolley, onionskin liner tip protector. My age guess is the same as the Brent, mid 50's.
Here's the two side by side, Brent on the left.

Too bad there wasn't a Marathon there too...this guy liked Sears and Montgomery Ward, why not J.C. Penney's? :D
