Hey, Jimmy, you finally went and gone n' done it!! I happen to know you've been lusting after a certain green OR for a while now...

Congrats on the find!

Congrats. What year would you put on it?

Thanks. According to this article, Akubra signed a licensing agreement with Stetson in 1951.

You have a good eye, Lefty -- the "Open Road" script on the green OR is highly reminiscent of the OR script on the original circa 1937 version:

All things considered, I am guessing 50's on the green OR.

Cheers,

where the hell was I when that was up on the block. it's disheartening what you can miss if you're not constantly on the computer. but then again, think of the other things you'd miss if you were....

Rob,

Use Ebay's automated search feature. It'll send you e-mails when things you're looking for are posted. I had to shut mine off, though... waaayyyy to much temptation! :eusa_doh:

Cheers,
Tom

My two most common searches:
Stetson (don't narrow it down to hats, view everything) - many sellers use Stetson to describe any hat

the vintage accessories, men's hats category

90% of the worthwhile, vintage hats can be found in one or both of those. The rest are, IMO, badly listed.
