I believe @Bamaboots has a nice Dorer's hat.I made an offer then came back 15 minutes later and paid the asking price. Something about this hat spoke to me.

No, that was my own spelling error... now corrected.Im curious, does you autocorrect change it to “Doer’s” too? I keep changing it back, but I may need to add it to my dictionary.
Thanks to a tip shipping Monday is this 1920's - 1930's Stetson which I believe to be a Tommy Grimes No.1 Quality based on the brim & crown measurements, & the wide brim binding. It also includes a period correct Navajo horsehair band with keeper rings for the tassels.
Thanks Bob. Also included is a broken conchos hatband. There are 9 conchos & a buckle. Coin silver? It looks Navajo but I was unable to determine if it has a makersmark or hallmark. No keeper & no end tip which may indicate age.Wow ... nice Jack. Congrats!

Tommy Grimes was the World Steer Roping Champion from 1914 -1921 & again in 1923. He was a frequent Bucking Horse Champion but never won the World Championship. These hats appeared in catalogs starting in the 1920's until at least 1936, two yrs after Grimes' death.
