Looking for information on this latest purchase. Forgive the postings in multiple threads:

I’m thinking it is a Canadian Stetson from the 1960s. Thanks in advance for help with the identification.

You need that box!

But beware! I wonder if the seller SoapySam is a descendent of Soapy Smith?

Yeah, but not for five bills and a too small spare hat.

Soapy Smithy was quite the slippery character in Skaqway during the Gold Rush days. He met with an unclean end.

This is a 1950's Dobbs Westward.
This one was listed as a derby. Definitely not a derby!

Same here. I see several like this on ebay every time I do a search. Nice hat, but way too much silver.

Yeah, but you get a cool tie for the money. I researched Demons for Jim, cool story, but not $500 cool.

Beaver Brand western. Not sure what I’ll do with it, but for the price I couldn’t pass it up. It will probably end up in a box until next fall and cooler weather.

Now this is the way to display a back bow hat on Ebay! Current listing, had to chuckle. Stole the image for post.

Not sure what the market will bear today, but in the past, the box alone has fetched a few hundred dollars.
