Stetson Number 1 Quality Campaign hat. Lot Number 4780. I haven't estimated a date for it yet, but it might be a little later than I was hoping for. I was hoping it was a WW1 hat. The smaller mfg tag is one of those brown tags or some obviously lighter colored tag than the other. After going back through this thread, I'm estimating this hat dates to ca. 1921. This is based on a hat on pg 15 of thread with Lot Number 5066 and the leather hatband has a 1922 date on it.

Yes, the vertical logo and that texture or design that's stamped into the sweatband leather itself are what hinted to me that it was early and might actually be a WW1 hat.

After going back through this entire thread again to refresh my memory, I see a hat on pg 14 of the thread with Lot Number 7710 that's dated Nov 1941. So hats with high 7000s Lot Numbers that I've tried to cram into being made in or before 1940 may actually have been made in 1941 or 1942, it seems. I just want to say that for the record.

Stetson Number 1 Quality. Lot Number 7479. The serial number on the sweatband begins with the letter G. There's no mfg tags in the hat.
