Just an educated guess, but I would say the liner is right and the sweat is wrong.......especially considering the hat style. Really nice hat though.......Here's this Tyrol I picked up off eBay.
Liner doesn't match the sweat.
No factory tag visible. Liner is sewn in, but there's enough space between the sweat and liner that I doubt one is present.
Liner crest protector is thinner than I would expect on a hat from around 1960. Which is my guess of age. 5" ipen crown, 2" overwelt brim. 103g. Felt is very soft and malleable, and has a finish that almost feels like a short cropped velour.
Head shot:
Hope to find more of this nutria felt. Good stuff!

Hey Alan: my thoughts exactly. I’ve only begun to check it out. No obvious work done to it. I was hoping to hear input from others as i’m no expert. I’ll see what other indicators i can find. Thank you for your input it’s always appreciated.Boss Raw Edge with a ribbon binding? Any sense on what is original and what has been modified in the hat's later life?

Very cool Mike. My thanks Sir. BVery interesting hat Bowen. It reeks of history. Here are a couple of images of the department store c1930s. It appears that the original Baker Hemphill Co. opened in 1909 and by 1937 had become Wells Hemphill at this new location in TX.
