Dating Vintage Stetsons by Liner: A Field Guide

What vintage is this Stetson?
I'm thinking 1970's early Hatco era. Notice that there is no branding on the sweatband.

I missed out on this one at auction (hope someone here got it), but was wondering about the possible date range based on this liner and sweatband logo. The logo style and the “~” in the “E” of Stetson seem to place it in the mid-‘40s to early-‘50s. Would this lean towards the earlier estimate as the logo and name are not paired with “Royal” or “Imperial”, etc. or does this just indicate a lower tier hat?

Hello, glad I found this place, first posting. I have a few Stetsons hats and trying to find info on one of them, I’ve googled it and still couldn’t find any info on date range etc… it’s a Stetson twenty made in Canada. It’s not a sovereign twenty , just twenty written on it. Any info would greatly be appreciated.
