Yes. It's exactly the same as your picture except the liner picture has a thin clear layer. Does this make it older or newer,

Your picture is much appreciated BTW,

It just it is for sale to me for $30 from a family freind. And i've heard the newer ones lose a lot of colour.
Done. Much - much thanks and appreciation
Neo, I just saw a guy on the street wearing a hat just like in your avatar - looked cool!
BTW, is that David Carradine? and what hat is that?
Hello all,
Could you tell me the importance of the #52 hat block? I think you call it an open crown. I notice that this is a very popular block on Ebay.
Thanks
The no. 52 block is very tall and straight sided. Here is a quote below from Art Fawcett confirming that the 952 blocks are also 52 blocks.
"Where to buy a new block and flange? I want a No. 52 block (I think) to achieve that tall, straight-sided crown so many of us seem so partial to. I believe there's another block number that's so similar as to be essentially the same thing, or so I've been told.
You're right Tony, the #52 and 952 are the same block, different mfgr"

How were standards for blocks established and maintained across manufacturers?
I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on a hat brush? I don't have one yet, but have been thinking of getting this one from Miller.
