Absolutely! Praying the USPS is kind to it on its journey!That is a great price for a Lincoln Bennett.
I would have easily paid double at least for it.

Anything on the bottom of that manufactures/to duplicate tag behind that reeding tape? Sometimes manufactures name is printed along the bottom of that tag. Also if we could see the rest of that Union tag
Hi Blare, No indication anywhere as to the manufacturer. I'll get a better shot of the union tag.
Hi Blare, I checked and there isn't any information on the manufacture/ duplicate tag. Here's a full pic of the Union tag as well. Hope this helps.
Hi Blare, I started doing some research on the union label on this very sight. From what I found, the union label I have with the type of little insignia at the upper left would date this hat in the 1940s.
Thanks Anthony. Not sure this Union tag helps narrow it down much further. But I think late 40s to 50s reasonably fits with this hat.
Gotcha…. I wasn’t sure about this version of the “bug”
Thanks Blare, I really appreciate your insight tremendously.
If you would take the time to read my question correctly you would have noticed that I do not have the actual hat but was only inquiring as to any information to this style of western fedora that Stetson made in the 1950s. Rest assure, if I would have that hat, there would of been photos.
Looks quite similar to these:
Wow, thank you Hatman. That is a tremendous help and I thank you very much! Excellent reference point!
Hatman, the more I look at these photos the more I see that none of them are quite the same as this hat. I noticed on the hat I'm inquiring about; it has a flat brim and a ribbon and bow treatment identical to an Open Plains but with a bound brim. It's a good starting point for sure but there's an odd mix to this hat. It doesn't seem to exactly fit. I do appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.
My mistake, I meant to say Boss of the Plains in my prior post.
