Here’s #2 from my lot-score, a 1960s vintage Stevens Imperial, in heathered melusine. 1 & 7/8" brim, 4" crown. This is the first melusine hat I’ve ever owned. The original retailer, Kraft Clothing, (or, Kraft's, per their store-front) has been serving Iowans since 1915.

Mayser's "Supra", date stamped 11/14/50. This Soft Felt was made for the famous München hat store Johann Zehme (Royal Bavarian Court Supplier). I found this Soft Felt back in 2014.

I picked up my 100 several years ago when they were still in the sub $300 range, so I don't have any current info. If the decision is based on some substantial price difference, I would not hesitate to pick up another 7X CB.



7X CB with a McNally (Ireland) cherryburst OM.

Nice looking 7X CB, Randy.

Can we hear some picking on that cherry sunburst?

Nice heather felt find, Mark.

I particularly like the wide ribbon and bow treatment. A cool jazz hat, if you ask me :cool:
