    Stetson Sweat Stamps/ LOT XXXX

    beautiful piece the tip crest and what looks to be a foil or gold over card stock size tag put this somewhere in late 30s to early 40s in my estimation ... more likely the latter rare to see a thin ribbon in that time frame but they were made I do not believe that tip crest was used at all...
