As badly as I wanted the Stetson hat box to go with my Tom Mix, (which was REAL bad), I would have had to bid $1800 to get the box and hope it didn't get bid up any more, so I had to give up trying.

Stetson No. 1 Quality. Brim is 3 1/2 inches with curl, 4 inches originally. Has 7 inch open crown. Dates about late 1920's. It was owned by Warren W Joy who lived in Denver and was born ca. 1895 in Iowa.

A fantastic specimen Mike! Would you say this is the cleanest example of your pre 40s Stetson westerns? A real stunner, congrats!

Thanks, Ross! Offhand, I think my Tom Mix is the champion of these hats. But this one here is among top handful or so of early Stetson Westerns that I have, despite some mothing on it. If I rated them by Best Great Hat for the Price, this one wouldn't be considered a bargain hat by any means. Probably the best I have in that category would be my Boss Raw Edge Kettle Finish Real Nutria, which was only about half the price of this No. 1 Quality hat.
