Here's some shots of my "reclaimed" Open Road. Actually reclaimed twice now. It was my dad's hat, purchased either in the latter '40s or early '50s. Unfortunately it lived too many years in the attic and between my head being larger than his and dry rot to the sweatband, the innards fell out...
I was about to answer no but did discover a tag which I would not have seen except the stitching pulled away there. Might have made that a little worse but it needs to be restitched anyway. Not a great photo. The top line reads "2C732 44307". Bottom line I believe reads "Cafro Secosca"...

Hello from Northern MI! I did post an intro at the Observation Bar but am more focused toward the hats and now see this intro thread in the Hats section, so thought I'd drop in here also.
I need to take some pics as I think there are a couple of my hats others might be interested in. Also, I...
I'm Ken and have visited the Lounge off and on for years. I thought I had registered years ago and done a little posting but the site didn't recognize my email address so I guess I'm a newbie!
Home is Northern Michigan and I've been a hat guy since my youth. I also have a keen interest in...
