Dating Stetson hat by sweatband logo

[TWKundrat]

Hello, I was wondering approximately what dates this logo and this style sweatband was used by Stetson? Thanks in advance for any info

Just going off the one pic it does look like it may be a pre-war hat, but No. 1 quality was a long running designation off and on until the 60's or so, IIRC. Any inside tags?

I don't have the hat to look for a tag. It's just from an online photo. Were those sweatbands that have somewhat of a diamond texture used during any particular timeframe that anyone knows of?

That logo stoped right around 1940 ish. That sweatband looks a lot older. Just seeing what you are showing, I’d guess turn of the century…all subject to change…put up more photos and don’t crop any of them…

Yep, debossed in that orientation it looks to be an early 20th century hat. More pictures would be great.

Here's another picture. Again, I don't have the actual hat. These are just pictures from the online sale. It's more than I want to spend but one day I'd like to get my hands on an early Stetson Boss of the Plains.
