Hey Joao, I was thinking that it looked like it was ripped, but I looked again just now and it seems fine.

It seems to be an original Stagecoach ribbon.

Whoever scored those two large mallories made one hell of a scoop I thought it might hit closer to $500 even with the more visible moth damage on the tan one.

This was entirely too awesome to pass up. For all you gents who favor a tall crown, look no further. Seller had it listed as 1910's-20's but the font on the sweat and dimensions make me think its late 1890's.

WHOA!!!!!!! That is the tallest/squarest derby I have ever seen. It is absolutely fantastic!!!! I am extremely interested in seeing whats behind the sweatband. Unreal find!!

Boston Hat Extender

 

[hatsRme]

A better mousetrap? Ingenious!

 

[ofcoursemyhorse]

But what happens when a non-boston hat is extended on it?

 

[ofcoursemyhorse]

Pre-Stetson Mallory in what appears to be NOS condition.

 

[buler]

That's a great find! Not many still have the model name tag on them. Please add it to the Mallory thread once you get it.

OCMH; you, sir, are on a ROLL!! Fantastic!

Alan's Boston hat stretcher is one of the early "ultra-specialized" hatters tools; NOT for use on Westerns?

Thank you very kindly Charlie, I'll keep the ball rolling with these two. These were both from the same seller.

40's Stetson Playboy







Late 30's / Early 40's Stetsonian

 

[alanfgag]

Very nice... forties perhaps but not thirties, I think.

 

[RJR]

Several nice catches here.

I would question the date of that Playboy too. Nice hats

 

[Frunobulax]

Some Buy it Now deals over there right now. $150 Strat, somebody (not me) just picked up a Stetsonian for $100. Size 7 1/4 & 7 1/8. Somewhat worn, but serviceable.

 

[Bamaboots]

Yeah, Fruno I took a chance on the Stetsonian. The missus is out of town.

the Playboy is definitely 50s

gorgeous hat though ... I was watching that one as well ... even though it is not my size... just wanted to see he ending price

Can't wait to see what you got. It's not my wife, it's my wallet right now! But then, I have only myself to blame. Two hats in-hand so far this month, a Beauty from Miamibruno that's currently out for delivery, and (hopefully), and new Stetsonian by Thanksgiving.

Like I say - I can stop anytime I want!!

 

[Bamaboots]

I know the feeling. Waiting on delivery of a pair of boots today and you guys have infected me with the hat "bug" as well. I tried rehab but found out it was for quitters.

I've bought hats from him before

they are always in fantastic shape

 

[ofcoursemyhorse]

Sorry guys it was late when I posted thanks for the corrections, the Playboy is definitely 50's.

I thought the Stetsonian might have had a small chance at being late 30's just because the liner material and sweat font are both the same as the late 30's blue heather.
