The elephants foot looks like painted ceramic. I've seen real ones made into a spittoon with a Sterling silver lid. You step on a peddle to open the lid to spit.
Reminds me of this classic.

How’s this for rare: a black Clear Beaver...alright, it’s an AmericaHat Co. 3X Clear Beaver, but still....
This hat was cleaned up, reblocked, had a new sweatband installed, and generally given a new lease in life by Wolfbrae @belfastboy

This is the last of my recent 6-pack of hats from Wolfbrae. The skill and talent of @belfastboy is impressive! Thank you, Robert! The best endorsement I can give him is that I have another five hats either under construction or in transit to him. The international shipping is a bit of a pain (customs form) and the shipping isn’t cheap, but in balance this is one of the best deals going!

This one is also marked as a Guild Edge (Cavanagh Edge) on the sweat, but the brim is missing that treatment. Not sure if it was removed (both hats have a 2-1/2" brim) or the sweatband is mis-marked.

I'll get behind the sweats once the treatment soaks in and show stickers, etc.

Does the first one not fit because it’s too big for you? Fingers crossed.

Yessir! Now that's what I'm talking about.

Hope the first one fits.

Resistol Alpine/Tyrolean

FB60F5C8-8120-4B7D-BF81-9D504902152A.jpeg


Resistol Alpine/Tyrolean
4 3/4 Crown
1 7/8 raw edge brim
Thick corded band

Another alpine/tyrolean hat... this one a Resistol with a rich fuzzy brown felt. A fair amount of moth nibs under the brim and a couple on the crown. But nothing too bad.... and besides the real star of this one is it’s super cool sixties liner!
