[Garrett]

Here is today's antique store find; A pre-war long hair stetson from somewhere in the 19teens up to mid 20's at latest. AND IT FITS ME!

AND IT FITS ME!

Don't rub it in.

And imagine my surprise that Dinerman likes this one.

It's an outstanding hat. Thanks for showing us.
That bow is really unique- never seen that combination
of raw and bowed edges on the back. Say, Art...

Fuzzies aren't for me but MAN, that is a super example of one. Congrats on a great find!

That beauty is from the 1920s or earlier ... probably earlier!

So is that a fake wind trolly button? I have a hat with one of those but it's not a Stetson.

Marc, do you still have this one?

Appears to be a genuine wind trolley button but the chord is missing or was never there to begin with, hence it was tacked down.

Marc, do you still have this one?

I sure do. It's a very fuzzy brushed felt fedora from the 'teens or early '20s. Big fat ribbon, too, but no signs of a wind trolley.

Is there a link to photos of its exterior?

Not yet, because I haven't taken any photos of its exterior! I'll do so next week.

Beautiful hat man!

 

[DanielJones]

Looks great. A little ribbon refurbish & you'll had a top notch lid for a special occasion.

Cheers!

That is one nice hat. It is definately from the roaring 1920's. What did you pay for it?
