Curious to see if anybody has a trashed but wearable (no holes or stains ok with some moth holes) 30s or 40s fedora in need of a restoration for sale. Let me know. I'm looking to refurbish it myself but I don't want one that's in TOO bad a condition.

Thanks. As far as I can tell from this thread, it's maybe 1950-1954 ish. The older ones (I was originally hoping it was late 40s) had more colorful linings sans the plastic. But I don't know the model... The label is blank. There's also a small stamp on the interior of the lining: DOW,7 1 2...
