This one at least helps to date a Stetson 4X with embroidered Last Drop.
The recipient of the above hat. Her grandparents were from the Missouri Ozarks.

Bob, you may be aware but Fahey-Brockman was a department store that originated in Seattle, I believe. All or most of their items were sold under their own name or particular branding but they did no mfg. I owned one of their fedoras and they show up from time to time under the Fabroc-Zenith name. Yours looks to be an early one.Had to get another 1-fer in just 'cause the liner was pretty.

Wow -- I think you did a whole lot better than I did Brent! Congrats!
I'm waiting for a three-for-one and a two-for-one.
I went deeper than I should have for one of the three, but at that point it was essentially free shipping for the third one.
Number 1 (in sequence ... it's a XXXX)

Number 2 (hold on, this reference may come into play shortly).

Number 3. I think people were bidding on this one like it was Stetson's Centennial and not Wyoming's.

Which brings us to the 2-fer.
I probably paid too much for this, but it appears old, so I hope that liner truly goes with it. Wish the sweatband was still the original one though. We'll see what's behind it soon.

It comes with the world's dirtiest Portis.

I sure hope it cleans up nicely, but it was still worth it just to reference @alanfgag 's Dad joke.
"Cause nobody likes a Portis spotty."
Some nice finds Bob. That old Stetson looks cool. I bet that Portis cleans up nicely. and one lovely liver on the FaheyHad to get another 1-fer in just 'cause the liner was pretty.

Yahoody triangulating the exact location of his hat with USPS2800 miles and counting. Still another 500 minimum to go.

Not a big deal, but a nice looking Smithbilt View attachment 425645 View attachment 425646 .
Very nice weave on that boater, Steve.
Thanks Brent. It was at a very reasonable price. As I lack a black Western and a Canadian hat in my collection, I went for itNice find, Steve. While they are best know for their cheap white wool Calgary Stamped hats, they also made some really nice hats.
Ja, it looks very nice all round. Pity it's not my size, but I just had to have it. Seems to be a straw which was part of the uniform of a very exclusive public school in Sevenoaks, England.Very nice weave on that boater, Steve.
Cool.. I had snagged some of the photos as a good example of this Twenty Five logo on a 1950s hat. If you have the chance.. when you get it.. could you post it up to the Stetson 25 thread.I don’t normally spend this much on hats not my size but it had to be saved from Dad’s collection.

It really is beautiful and in amazing shape.Of course.
I like that it’s a three-cord ribbon and not an Open Road. It was so pristine that I just couldn’t let it go. I really hope someone here ends up with it. This may even be a Max @drmaxtejeda worthy hat.
