You answered me, so it helps.

I know that most of the Loungers here have seen it.

But thanks for the answer to my query

Haven't bought a hat in ages, but was intrigued by this auction. Frank Miller really was a trick shooter for the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, and really did live in Ft. Collins. Buffalo Bill really spent time there as well. So perhaps: Interesting Old Cowboy Hat

Hey Scott. Nice to see you around. Interesting hat. Certainly one of the earliest Lee's I've seen. And you get a bonus, undescribed fedora.

Is this Cavanaugh really worth what the present bidding stands at?

You'll have to be more specific about who it might be worth it to.....

If somebody bid it ......it must be worth it to somebody.

Yessir... very interesting.

A foolish last minute bidding error :eusa_doh: helped someone get a tremendous deal on this nice old Stetson Real Nutria Quality. I hope it was someone here.

Hey Alan I had been watching that same hat, just to see what it would go for, glad you got it , hope the stains come out for ya !

All the Best , Fashion Frank

It might have gone for more had my bid gone in, but it is headed elsewhere. The hat has some felt damage, but very little wear. I expect it would clean up and be quite wearable.

Hi Buler - good to 'see' you. By coincidence, I just won (5 minutes ago ) three more early 1900's westerns. I'll post them in the appropriate thread. My hat 'collection' had been pared down to two 1910-20 Stetsons and a few hats I wear. Maybe the bug is back?

Surely this Gun Club did not come with this Fawcett-esque ribbon, no?

I've never seen a Gun Club hat like that!

Here's a nice vintage Stetson on ebay at size 7 long oval.

They say its an Open Road, but there is no marking on the sweat to say that.
It kind of looks like a Stratoliner/20 combination.

That's a beautiful hat, if only I didn't have a XXL head!

Posting live auctions is permitted, but many members in the hat section are not fans of that policy. Those who feel compelled to do so have an area (Vintage Finds and Deals) to post them.

Keep it under your Stetson.

The seller clearly states over & over again = "It is a Stetson Open Road-style fedora "..."Now, I say "Open Road-style" because there is no marking that id's it as an actual Open Road hat. But it is in exactly the same style as the OR"

Very forthcoming & honest in my book....

Care to point out an Open Road style hat the doesn't look like a Strat or a 20?

I'm with Tom on this one - if a hat doesn't say Open Road somewhere, it is an "Open Road Style". It might be identical to another hat that is an Open Road, but has to say it on the sweatband.

Can still be a great hat!

Of course, our old pal HatsEnough/The Colonel (the seller in this case) does know how to describe a hat properly.

I agree....nothing mis-leading there.

True, he has had some nice hats too.
