    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    I suspect the white tag has something to do with a hat renovation at some point during the hat's early life, though I have no evidence to confirm that theory. Interesting to see the white tag pasted over the standard red manufacturing label in the hat posted above.

    Thanks... it's a heavy lift for me with a small head, as are some of my larger western hats. But it's a fun hat to wear and the only beret I have that is large enough to shade the sun or keep rain off my face.

    Pre-WWI Hat Cords

    It's an odd hat - a dandy I would say. The brown edge binding is actually the finishing of a silk under brim wrap. This is a detail more often seen in formal hats. Maybe an early "dress" western. It was for sale in a store in Cheyenne, Wyo during the first decade of the 20th century.

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Wonderful picture! Hard to guess much about the beads used to make this necklace, but if you page back through this thread you'll find a number of trade bead necklaces posted. Most of the beads in my collection that were traded in the Americas were of European (Venetian) and Bohemian origin. The...

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    It's been a quiet month in our Southwest thread. What I wore this morning... An old ring by Hopi silversmith Morris Robinson (Talawytewa) with Cerrillos turquoise and a mid-century bracelet stamped with the horned moon of the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild.

    Thanks! Perry, I've not been successful in finding much on the store or the owner, though there was a Dr. J who played some basketball in Norfolk, VA before heading north to fame and fortune.
