Hatbox Homage

[M Hatman]

Pictured on top of two Resistol boxes which themselves are on a Portis box, is my 60's Marathon box. It has a cool embossed design with JP on the lid. I show this box as I recently have filled it with a 60's Marathon hat pictured!!

As an update, I have since found (and was alerted by a couple of fellow loungers) that both the box and hat are from the 1950's and hence are earlier than I suspected.
The hat indeed is really nice felt.....great soft hand.

In another conversation about Thoroughbred hats.......I realized I had not posted this:

Acquired a Rugged Man Champ box a few wks ago, complete with inside support but no hat.

Maybe someone with better software can bring this out. I get
MONZA
TAR RATTLE

I think it says MONZA TAR BATTLE, maybe that has something to do with the RUGGED MAN medieval box art but not sure how that would carry over to the name of a fedora model.

I think they are two different stamps, the "fonts" look different. One, perhaps MONZA, is the model, the other the color. I cannot think of what TAR BATTLE could be shorthand for.

Thin a$$ ribbon in battleship grey? [emoji4]

You may be correct about the fonts but the only common letter to compare is the letter A.

I quickly looked thru the Champ ads thread looking for RUGGED MAN or MONZA, & keeping BB's 3-cord Champ in mind but found nothing.

MONZA was probably the hat model. If it was an early 1960's thin ribbon a man would have been modern & really in style wearing his Champ MONZA while driving his brand new Chevrolet Corvair MONZA convertible.

Can a hat be unsafe at any speed?

Monza is also an Italian hat making center.

Saw some art in a flea market and thought it looked familiar.

Pretty sure the painting. 1848 (or possible older).

The box is OK but the more I see of the hat the more I like it.
