Borsalinos with Celled Paper Labels
This is great. Does the crown label "Giuseppe e. Fratello" call out an era before the battle of the cousins? c.1900?? I don't remember seeing it before but haven't checked the many pages here. -

Could certainly be... with an odd French twist. There are also "French" hats that were made in the USA. I have one though I've forgotten what the branding is. All is fair in love and trade wars. -

Eagles have a symbolic tradition in French culture. This French gold pin has a similar presentation as the mark in your hat: The origin of the eagle and shield that adorns the old US Senate chamber is fuzzy, but it is described as being in the French tradition. -

Hi Terry, I hope one in your size crosses your path. The first Borsalino I found many years back was a later production - 1970s I think - a late offering from old factory. The liner was no longer the raw silk variety and the sweatband was sewn with a reed, but the felt had much of the quality... -

Jim, I'm not sure I ever saw or replied to your message. Sorry that it's three years later! Would love to see that painting. My uncle Nat was born around 1903.
