Until then, she can bathe in it. :D

Unlined, lightweight Dalton

The Lincoln Society of Dayton is holding one of their events this weekend. A couple of shots of the several Lincolns.

Sounds like you're a long oval. You can try the hat stretcher, but be very careful and do it a little at a time, if you do. You heve a very nice old hat there, and I'd hate to see you pop stitches or damage the sweatband. Not sure where you are, but if you have a hatter nearby, you might give...

True. I'd figure that was at least a $25-$30 hat in the 50s. Don't hold me to that, tho.

I don't think so.

Crappy copy of a photo from a newspaper, but I dig the strat-like hat in the foreground. Opening day at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, 1957.

Seems to be a Homburg, and may very well be a bit large, but I couldn't let it sit there at that price.
