FS: Vintage Resistol Western

[TPD166]

FOR SALE - Vintage Resistol Platinum Beaver 65 western hat. It is a Byer-Rolnick era (pre-1967) hat and is a beautiful light grey/silver color in very good condition. It is marked 7-3/8 Long Oval, and fits me fine – but it really doesn’t fit me like other long ovals. The felt is very fine and thin, but somewhat rigid as expected for a western. It has a very tall crown – 5” as creased, around 6” in an open crown; brim is 3.5”. Also, as you can see from the pictures (I apologize for the poor quality – all I have with me is my camera phone) the band markings have been mostly struck over. Through the gold over-strike you can still read “Resistol Self Conforming” but “Hand Creased” was left clear. The “BR Platinum Beaver 65” marking in the front was not marked out, but the name of the store “Buffalo Ranch Western Store ????, Okla.” is covered as well. A beautiful, top-end, vintage hat overall. Asking $120 shipped in the U.S. If you have any questions or are interested, please PM me or send me an email thru TFL (email preferred). Would consider trades for vintage thin-ribbons in 7-3/8 or 7-1/2.

Excellent value here. I got no need for this hat, but it's a more than reasonable deal for someone who does.
