Even I am having a hard time believing

How was that done on the liner? Was it printed or embossed?

That hat GLOWS!!

That Stetson: Serendipity defined. Or..de find of a lifetime. What a blessing!

I can honestly say that my mouth *actually* fell open and gaped at the stetson when I scrolled down to the picture... my goodness.

Bud , that is one nice nice find . That hat dates to the late 1930's or early 1940's . I've never seen one like that . I've given up long ago long at tag and estate sales for hats . Never found much except for a few little minature hat boxes . You have a nice treasure there .
Enjoy!!!!!!!!

THAT is the way to buy a hat! MAN that thing is sweet. You could not fantasize a more perfect scenario! Good on you!

 

[Michael Best]

It's such a good thing that you found them! The thought of these two marvelous hats going to the trash frighten me we hat lovers avoided sush a wast.

Good hats today are so hard to find and when you do they can easily cost you an arm and a leg.

(deals) I've been privy to-that Stetson is wonderful, wear it well...:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Oh geez! Just shoot me now. I have been looking for a Vogue in my size for years. :eusa_doh: Yes, I have heard of it before. It is a great hat. besador is probably right about the date of the hat. I have an ad around here some place that will confirm it if I can find it. That is an excellent example and the other hat isn't too bad either.
Nice find. What size is it so I know here to find one?

Regards,

J

I look forward to seeing that james, I am curious what the hat would have sold for back then. Can I assume it is 100% beaver fur felt?
