Thanks Mark. Yeah other than a little patina on the reed, it looks brand new.SCOOOOOOOOOORE!! What a steal, Don! Gorgeous hat!
That blue-green patina at the ferrule is verdigris. Clean it off with diluted white vinegar before it eats a hole thru the felt. Google for threads on dilution of white vinegar & verdigris on the forum..Thanks Mark. Yeah other than a little patina on the reed, it looks brand new.

Great hat, as always!
Very nice, Rick. Love the ribbon!Going to be a hot muggy week or so coming up. Time to start rotating the lighter hats into the mix. A little Stevens got the nod this morning View attachment 623067
Congrats on an awesome score, Timmy! VERY handsome hat.Awhile back I felt lucky to add a Mr. Disney fedora to my modest collection and thought I had scratched that itch. Then the other day I stumbled onto this one, another Fifteen...but this one is made of Otter. Naturally I was curious what to expect. The felt on this one is very soft to the touch unlike my other Mr. Disney , or most of my other hats made with beaver content. The Pewter Gray color with matching ribbon looks especially sharp in the sunlight.
