FedoraC was mistaken, or typo'd. Happens to the best of us from time to time. The hat is as Josh dated, pre-WWI. There are a few threads dedicated to older Stetsons, and other manufactures as well. Here is one.

Hat is older than you think. I believe thats the 1915 Expo logo. Let me dig up the thread to be sure, but I think the dates would be around 1915 - 1928. Please update the thread if you can! Nice find!

Channeling my inner Joao today. 20s Stetson B.R.E. Sadly I forgot to take a shot while the sun was out, so this will have to do.
