Awesome. I’m glad that one turned up on the lounge. Appears to be… or very very close to a model called the Musketeer. Only a few have turned up here as Jim said above. Have not seen one with this liner. I hope it Will clean up nicely. I’m sure it will respond well to a good brushing. Excellent find. Congratulations!
Well there ya go.. one with the red liner that yours has. Interesting thing about your hat. All of the ads I have seen for the Musketeer were dated 1950 (not sure if that is accurate… but what they are labeled anyway) Mine and others I’ve seen have the ‘stars’ in the Stetson logo. Yours has the maple leafs logo. No set time for when they switched.… but often 1950 is referenced as about the time the switch was made. Might point to it being later in the year 1950 or maybe they did make the model longer than just 1950.
Nice grab, Bob!
Thanks Joe! I too hope it will clean up and remain intact. It seems pretty fragile but responded nicely to hand shaping from the alarming rolled up state I received from the seller.
The old felts can be surprisingly resilient and very often can recover well from some mishandlings. You will be able to do a lot with just brushing and steaming. I do recommend that you brush the hat thoroughly to get out as much dust and dirt as possible before getting it wet (steam) … water and dirt = mud. If you dont have a hat brush you can get a good horse hair hat brush cheaply on Amazon.

Sounds good! Good luck with the cleaning. I look forward to seeing it when you get done.
Cool.. yes.. I’m starting to feel the liner on mine was in the minority. Does yours have stars or leaf in the logo?
Ah. The combo!
Congrats! I'm still waiting to find one in my size.
That hurts. But sure you are up to the job, Bob!
Dang!
I was wondering where it went. Good score!
I'd go for delivery like that any day of the week, or better: every day of the week! It's no way to treat hats, but I find it extremely satisfying bringing them back to life if they are like this.
I see some diamonds that have been ruffed Bob.
