1950's Dobbs Forty

[Roan]

Hey guys,
So round #2 here in my attempt at paring down my hat collection.
Selling off my Dobbs Forty, it's in very nearly perfect condition, no moth bites, or stains, and the hat has been kept boxed, with cedar chips, for the time that I've owned it.
Really nice, deep chocolate brown color that the photos do no justice, with the felt being just buttery soft and will take nearly any shape you give it without the need for any steaming.
It's marked as a 7 1/4 but, is just a tad too snug for my liking as I tend to be more comfortable in 7 3/8 most of the time.
Really love this hat but, don't wear it very often due to the size issue for me so, I'm selling it simply to clear space at home.
Oh, and the hat comes with the period, and brand, correct hat box to go along with it.

Here are the measurements:
Crown comes in at 5in exactly when creased
Brim 2.5in with felted edge
Ribbon 2in
Sweatband 2in
With the opening measuring 8 1/4 front to back and 6 5/8 side to side

Asking $250
But, I'm open to any reasonable offers

Bump and price reduction:
Now $200 flat. Not a bad deal considering this hat would've sold for nearly $500 of today's money
