Hit the frame shop this past weekend, now to work on the feng shui.

The Bulldogger by Moore Hat Co., Lawton, OK. A 3x6 fedora weight dress Western. Thru trademark registration I have learned the Moore Hat Co. first used the name of the Bulldogger in trade in 1947 & registered it as their trademark in 1950. It was the only trademark ever registered. I have been unable to determine when Moore went out of business but Moore was apparently not bought out as the trademark was allowed to expire in 1992. An educated guess based on two obituaries of former employees of Moore Hat Co is that it closed in the 1960's sometime.

I got out of the IG #game. Kept FB for the groups (mostly hat related). I got my niches, a Polaroid from the same outting. Love that these are 1 of 1

Ironically I found the pictured T. Mix hat on IG, bothered the guy enough to sell it to me. Kinda wrapped up that whole platform for me.
