I don't find a quick match in Barton Wright's book of hallmarks... perhaps share a picture or two.- alanfgag

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Hawes Von Gal, c.1910. Among the rarest of rare... a soft hat with longhair finish produced by a short lived company (founded late 1800s, entered receivership in 1914). Many advertisements for the Hawes $3 hat survive, but precious few examples and almost all are stiff hats in rough condition... -
Turquoise/Native American jewelry
The past couple of years have had an impact on my daily wardrobe. I used to enjoy spending some time on Sundays ironing shirts but seems I rarely do that now, or get much wear from my shirts with collars. I have a number of bolo ties that I enjoyed wearing with a collared shirt - these too have...- alanfgag

There is a good amount of trade in Tommy Jackson's jewelry on eBay and also at retail in shops that sell his work. I would check the <sold> listings on eBay to get a sense of the resale value of your piece.- alanfgag

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Hi Brent... Daan announced the availability of this new hat from Manufacture de Berets Auloronesa in the Berets Anyone? thread here. These are really interesting - made from unprocessed merino wool sourced in Arles, France. They feel and smell like an unwashed wool fisherman's sweater - redolent... -

The postwar 7X CB quality felt was used for different hats finished in different ways (OR, thin ribbon dress styles without OR designation, wide ribbon dress hats...) - my guess is Joe's new hat is also late 40s to early 50s. It is super-nice. -

Wore a Marathon to work today but received a package from South Pacific Berets and haven't been able to take this undyed Merino d'Arles off my head since. -
Berets, Anyone?
Received today and I love it. Redolent of lanolin in the best way. A little more of a shape holder than my other Auloronesa berets, which I also like. 10p -

Beautifully put together. Wonderful shot of my old neighborhood. The first photo says it all. Fierce. -

Ask a question, get an answer
I think there are a number of forces at work to shape your observation. One, in my case, is that I tend too acquire hats that are in excellent condition - a practice made possible by my relatively small size seven head. I don't have much experience with hats manufactured before 1900 - very few... -
Turquoise/Native American jewelry
That is indeed a very heavy piece… not likely a tourist piece at that weight, perhaps crafted for native wear. You won’t forget you have it on.- alanfgag

Turquoise/Native American jewelry
He's recognized as a knowledgable dealer and very well might be right. I think the parts of many squash blossom necklaces were likely assembled and disassembled and assembled again. The stamping, decorative filing on the blossom posts and turquoise cabochons suggest a 1930s piece to me. The fox...- alanfgag

OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
The owner of this hat was Maj. General I.G. Brown. He likely purchased it during his tenure as sheriff of Garland County, Arkansas - a four year term beginning in 1946. It has the construction notes of a top quality post war hat. It was manufactured for Stack by Maclachlan. -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
A Borsalino feather weight from Salvatore Balbi in Napoli. This is the first Borsalino I purchased on eBay quite a few years back. Color is similar to the hat posted yesterday, but of a different name that I cannot decipher. Laiano? -
Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
Just noticing the store... this would have been a nice one for Justin Seagraves @splintercellsz... although he already has/had a nice Chamois. -
Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
The LOTXXXX suggests late 1920s/ early 1930s. Thanks for including it in the post.
