I saw this Bailey of California listed for cheap on eBay. No size was given, but I was so taken by the look of it that I bought it just for display if it didn't fit.
Well, it's small. About a 6 7/8. But still beautiful.

The brim is 3 3/4 inches, the crown 4 1/2 as creased. About 160 grams. The patent was granted in 1855.I'm guessing the hat was made within the next ten or so years.
