Just bought this Dobbs miniature with the gift certificate. I once read that the miniatures abound, but the certificates are rare.

Just BIN'ed this cool French ad for Sools hat shop (google leads me to believe "maitre chapelier" means "master hatter") advertising Stetson hats. The illustration is done by Cassandre, a Ukrainian born Parisian artist whom apparently did a lot of commercial work. Seller says 1928.

Very cool piece, Jared. Gérard Sools certainly was a prolific hatter or more correct hat-shop. There are many Sools hats to be found, but it's likely that they were sourced elsewhere and branded for the shop. The ones I've seen were all quality hats. This add is a piece of art though.

There are some out there! Stetson imported by Sools, dated 1938.

An eBay buy from a while back.

Thanks for the additional background, Stefan! I knew when I saw some other Sools hats on Ebay last night that somebody surely knew something.

Of course! It's coming from overseas, so it'll be a week or three.
