    M.C. Gannon Hat Company

    I had one of his hats (in the old dye back cherry) I bought from a former member here. Since Mike made it, I wanted him to resize it to fit me. He said he wouldn't attempt such work. I sent it to Art Fawcett to get done.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
