Turquoise/Native American jewelry
Sophisticated silver work... perhaps Mexican? update: The seller said the tribe elders purchased this bracelet from Fred E. Thompson at Santo Domingo (Kewa) Indian trading post in the 1960s.- alanfgag

Turquoise/Native American jewelry
Thanks for bumping! I recently received my first new addition in quite a while. It was sold as a Santo Domingo pueblo made bracelet, possibly 1940s. I'm not sure. The construction is very fine, with repoussé and serpentine square wire supports on the back. A 925 stamp is the only marking. 3...- alanfgag

Borsalino bombetta... can't believe this arrived from Daniele five years ago. Seems like yesterday. -

Here is an early 20th century Stetson No.1 quality with pencil roll brim and modest overall dimensions. Note the silver foil store imprint, a material that never seemed to adhere well - also a less common vertical inkless No.1 shield. The retail store was lost to fire in 1925. -

The Noble Schoble
Nice addition to the Schoble thread. That Ryman ticket might help you date the hat if you research it further. Grand Ole Opry moved there in 1943 but it was active under Lula Naff's leadership before. You're correct that the union label would suggest post 1934. Great find. -

Borsalino dress western style hat in the inscrutable color "monlov" which describes my feelings about this hat perfectly. Age uncertain, perhaps just before or just after WWII. -

I ate a slice or two of pizza every day on my trip from high school in Manhattan to my home in Queens. Also make pizza at home but I modified my Neapolitan style oven with a steel surface to make my homemade pies more NYC style like I enjoyed it as a kid. -

Borsalino... model Natalsca, color Sfinge... still wears a few rumples from decades of storage in the signature coffin shaped box of the 1950s. -

Here's another nutria hat with the Fray mark. Have to admire a rolled leather sweatband that can survive a century of use and still remain supple. This hat arrived with a wide ribbon in poor condition. Not sure if it was original but I removed it and added this thin horsehair band. It's a... -

Not at all. The embossed Fray sweatband was a workhorse and remains remarkably flexible to this day. There were softer Frays but this one fits me well and still wears comfortably after 100+ years of use. -
