Stetson No. 1 Quality
The 1684 tag is most certainly a dry cleaners or hatters tag. When customers peice are brought in they are all individually tagged and recorded to invoice for each customer. If the sweat was separated from the hat the hat would have the same number marked inside it to keep track (probebly on... -
The Bowler or Derby Hat
Are you sure it is not a very thin felt then (scratching the inside surface will tell you)? They pressed the crowns of those in hydraulic presses......I posted an image of the process some time ago. Also, often the unlined hats were shellacked on the inside (which would create a plastic like... -
The Bowler or Derby Hat
That is a purpose built cheap parade or festival hat. Not a "real" hat by any means. Doubt it is a Stetson. All I have seen have not been marked beyond an occasional centennial or town festival markings.....I have seen versions dating back to the 30's or so.......though the older ones tend to... -

Vintage Coffee Makers
Got this a couple of weeks ago. A Mid-century Italian Neapolitan (Cuccuma) coffee maker. Design goes all the way back to the early 19th century created by a Frenchman, and was enthusiastically adopted by the Italians (who still make them).

Western, anyone?
Me too actually. We have had a couple more like your show up with the same bound edge and ribbon treatment, one recently that that generated a lot of discussion. It could still be a Longhorn with a ribbon change by Stetson or aftermarket (just like we do now) but with at least three on the... -

Vintage toasters
Today's find: a Toast-O-Lator made in 1948. Originally designed in the late 1930's, this version (Model J) introduced in the mid -40's. The bread goes in on the right and is conveyed to the left through the toaster!!! It is a conveyor toaster.....really!;)- M Hatman
