Here's pics of the box and you can see the size and name of the color. The pics show the hat as a grey but it's really a brown color. Not sure why my phone changes the color like that.
Today I went and picked up my newest addition. The man who I purchased this from said that his grandfather had this in his closet for many, many years. His family had a large farm in New Jersey and when the farm was sold after over a hundred years, he was going through the property and found...
Thanks Brent, I really appreciate that. I figured it's definitely a 1940s for sure. Thank you again for the kind words and it definitely is a special beauty that I was fortunate enough to find.
Hi Brent, here's the pics of the tags which I really had to dig to find them. I don't believe these were ever looked at other than when they were put there at the factory.
My bad, I had to really look as I don't believe the band had ever been pulled back to see these tags. Even the clear sweat guard wasn't even wrinkled. I may be the first to see these since the hat left the factory.

My new aquisition just came in the mail today. I picked this up for a song from a lady on the internet and it's absolutely a beauty.

Hey Vincent, received the hat today and again thank you. Beautiful color. Being a 7 1/4 it was a tad snug as I wear a 7 3/8, so I stretched it a fraction and it fits good.
Just received my Dalton fedora today that I purchased off of Ebay a couple of weeks ago. Unbeknownst to me, the seller was a fellow Fedora Lounge member which was a riot in itself. Great hat and the color is beautiful.
Several days later I found this miniature Dalton hat box on Ebay as well. At...
