What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Blare]

How did you finally realize it? (Hopefully not at the moment when you had to use it!)

You know I’m not exactly sure. I know one fell off when I turned the hat over while cleaning it up. But not sure when I made the connection on the other.

Beautiful lining and sweatband color!!

The reason I jumped on this hat when I saw it!

Shoot, I'd have that hat in hot minute and be proud of it! Happy birthday! Yesterday was my 53rd.

Happy birthday, Phil, even if it is a day late.

Mystery hat that's too big for me! I bought it for my dad and it arrived today. I did some work to try and identify it - found some very welcome surprises!

Check out my "Forensics" post and have some fun trying to figure it out!

Knox 20 with the faux wind trolley

Very nice... why do you call it a faux wind trolley?

Very nice... why do you call it a faux wind trolley?

The button is attached to an elasticized band that goes around the crown—purely decorative and easily removable.

Threw in my guess on your post. Love to see more details.. Whatever it is… I’m sure your dad will love it.

I always admired those Knox logo wind trolley buttons I had seen on folks Knox Twenty hats. Even after I had my own.. I didn’t realize for at least a year it was just a button on an elastic band not attached to the hat in any way. I’m guessing HCA put these on 50s Knox as a display item so they looked great on the shelf.
