Need a top shot to see the bash, Andrew!

A little dark bit you get the gist.

Found this fantastic Dobbs Twenty on Ebay for BIN $ 19.96. Punched the buy button so hard my
finger is still healing. Looks brand new except a few spots on the liner, trolley and all.

Hey hat fans!
I saw this one on the 'Bay, looked nice, looked old, and looked like a good BIN so I jumped on it. It arrived today and it's even nicer than I thought it would be. Minty was the word te seller used to describe the condition, and I'd have to agree this time.

Crown is a full 6" open, brim is 2 3/8", 2" with the curl. Leather is oh so soft and supple, unreeded and taped at the seam. Felt is beautiful.
Seller dated it to the Thirties. I'd like to see what the Professor thinks.
All in all, very glad I grabbed this one.

A few more shots.

Wow, great find, moehawk! The hat dates to 1928, as that it the only year that all three of those Dobbs addresses were open at the same time.

Cool!
Thanks, Professor!
I bet you wish they were all so easy to pinpoint. But then, that might take the fun out of it...

Not sure of the age of mine. I'm not as knowledgeable on Dobbs as I am with Stetsons. It's definitely vintage I got it at a estate sale. If anyone can shed some light? Anyway hears mine! I'll have a Patty melt extra grilled on the onions please

 

[SurfGent]

Nice ones James + Mohawk!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Probably 80's... those are already under Resistol... same tag as Resistol. Tag says REV 1-83 probably January 1983.

Or was that the last time that tag style was revised?

Thanks I've always wondered about this one

Probably, so after January 1983. Forgot to put "after" on my post

Dobbs Canadian
Found this on Goodwill for $5.99. 1 1/2 inch brim. Trilby? Made under license in Canada and has the Dobbs liner tip usually found on their
premium hats. Felt is very thick and luxurious. Anybody know what company made these? Fantastic condition.

!950's Dobb's thin ribbon, wide brim, linerless , "Hankachif Felt". Super light weight hat.

 

[g.durand]

Wow, Robert, that is a nice one.

 

[40Cal]

Wow, Robert, that is a nice one.

Thank you sir! I've never seen one of these "Hankachif Felt" hats in person. An impressive product from Dobbs !

 

[alanfgag]

Nice... I had one of these at one time. Very thin felt.
