image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Hello. I am not educated on hats and was hoping to get some information from some people who are enthusiasts. I recently acquired a Stetson Royal deluxe open road fedora. From what I can tell it is 1950s. It still has the little $12.50 price tag attached to the key hole size tag. The inside looks unworn with plastic still covering the top. It is a darker brown with grosgrain ribbon bow and trim. It has a small dirt spot on the top that looks cleanable and two very tiny bumps on the back of it. I Want to sell it but don't know what is a reasonable price to let it go for. Is the brown a sought after color? Is it common for the price tag to still be attached? Thank you for any info!

OPS meaning Office of Price Stabilization dating it from probably 1951-1953
price tags are sometimes still attached ... it is not a super rare occurrence
brown is desireable to some
PM sent to discuss price

Thank you all very much for commenting! Are there places that will clean and reshape hats?
