A Lee "Fifth Avenue"; bought it on the American bay most of a year ago, it's a rather heavy and thick long-hair hat, definitely winter seasonal, with what I believe to be "old fashioned Fedora" elements, in fact alleged to be from the very late forties (probably fifties, but who knows, I'm a bit puzzled by the more sixties marketing things like -if I'm not mistaken, the hat's at home- a "Dupont" label?).
Don't mess with me! (huff, huff..lol )

Pablo, thats a great lid. I'd go with the mid-40s to early 50s. Don't worry about the "Dupont" label. I've seen Lee's water-bloc process mentioned as early as 1934 and the Dupont Aridex as early as 1941.
