Stetson Hats by Jeffrey B. Snyder
Exactly my thoughts. Hehehe...I have no idea, but I love the "screw with him at retirement" theory.
Another fantastic prize of a hat. I think this is either the second or third 7x CB Stetson retirement hat. Like the others, it's small - a size 7.
I hung in there for this
Stetson stingy 7XCB - but dropped out when the dollars went past my curiousity. It's an interesting Stetson retirement gift that used a mode edge sweat on a hat with an edge binding. Could have been done later (very short brim) or since it was an employee hat maybe he requested it.
Neat one either way IMO.
Try here but you will have to set up an account & pay a small fee.Still no luck on an obit for Mr. Stewart. Aaarrggghhhh
Obituaries?
We are looking for the obituary for one Richard Stewart, born Oct 17, 1888, died April 1972 @ age 84. Living in Philadelphia, PA 19131.Birth records, death records, obits, pictures, etc.
Oh, I see Tonio has already been there. Never mind...
Thanks Jack.Try here but you will have to set up an account & pay a small fee.

You're not going to find an obituary from 1972 digitally online unless you go to an obituary archival website, set up an account & pay a fee. Even then they may not have it online yet because it's now 42 yrs old.I've searched 10 different sites, and I can't find an Obit either. One thing I've seen before is that although a person died in a certain town, his surviving family all lived in a different area and so they only paid for an Obit in their area newspaper. Still, no luck on my searches... it's odd because there should be something listed for 1972. Sometimes records are lost or poorly kept as well
Thanks Alan. Good info. The disparate parts thing is just so odd!Seems to me I've seen this hat posted here before, but I might have dreamt it. Obviously a one-off as a presentation gift, might just have been made up of disparate parts.
There is no information, to my knowledge, that supports Huston's website claims on the content of 7X Clear Beaver and Stetson 100. Stetson 100 originates 1950s. 7X clear beaver goes back earlier. Having owned a number of each, I question whether there was a difference outside of the box/suitcase and marketing.
Hmmm... Maybe I'll just have to travel to Philly and dig into some microfiche.You're not going to find an obituary from 1972 digitally online unless you go to an obituary archival website, set up an account & pay a fee. Even then they may not have it online yet because it's now 42 yrs old.
You might be able to get something thru interlibrary loan sent to a genealogy library near you. Don't give up!Hmmm... Maybe I'll just have to travel to Philly and dig into some microfiche.
I can see myself trying to sell that to the lovely bride. Yeah, sure...
Thanks Alan. Good info. The disparate parts thing is just so odd!
You may have seen this one back in March when it first fell into my hands. I've looked around for it elsewhere on the Lounge and haven't seen it.
Oh... any thoughts on the brim? Cut down? I need to look at photos of binding on other Stetsons from the early '60s I guess to get a better feel for their appearance myself.
Be well.
VERY COOL ALAN!!On the brim, my guess is original.
Here is the hat from the auction you referenced above. Similar but not the same one. I think this is the hat I was remembering.
