Nothing overly exceptional here, just one I picked up off FB Marketplace yesterday. It’s a “3X” Bailey, from their B Bar B line. Not much info to be had on the B Bar B’s, despite deep-diving here and throughout the internet. The only historical reference I could find to the lineup was a magazine advertisement from an unknown vintage issue of “The Western Horseman.” Given the prices listed, and the style of the advertisement, I venture the line was being marketed in the late 60s to early 70s. If anyone knows better, or has more specificity, please chime in!

I added a relatively modest kettle curl to the brim, and re-shaped the cattleman crown into a Centerfire, and I’m quite pleased, especially for how little it cost me. I’m naming this one (not particularly creatively), “3Bee.” :)

I bid on this one earlier this month, but it got kinda pricey. If it wasn’t one size too small I might have dug deeper. Pretty sure my wife (and possibly @steur) would have hated it.

Any thoughts on the Italian maker?
