Was this for the Game Bird as well or just coincidental? Not mine ...

Fantastic box!!!
I would say this could be not only for the "Game Bird" but could be for any of their sporting hats like these "Field & Stream" "Game Bird Mixtures" ........

EDIT: I forgot to add how very much I want one of those cool pheasant pins!!!!

Not mine ... neat box.

Cool liner too.

Daitoku, Tokyo, leather hat box with the top hat (in a size 60) to go with it. I was the high bidder on this one, but the seller forgot to mention she had accepted another offer outside of the auction. I was not happy to say the least, but what can you do?

This may be a re-run (didn't see it in a quick search). Not mine ...

Champ Featherweight with an ad in the lid (in case you needed justification after the purchase).

Box art during the Glenn family era after Kevin O'Farrell & the shop move to a store front on Main Avenue as the Glenn family tried to "brand" the O'Farrell name in the Western Wear business.

Here’s something quite interesting that I came across. Someone was selling this box along with an old Cavanagh Homburg. The hat itself is nothing special and also has holes (bummer). The box on the other hand, possibly a bit more valuable. Looks very much like the early S100 and 7x boxes but with no logos or labels! I felt like this would make a good travel box for my 7x. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I can not comment as to your query. I did wish to respond that I am really enjoying the pic of this corner of your house. Glorious and eye appealing to both the vinyl records, turntable, whiskey bottle, hat displays, quilt hat box and wall art. Thanks for sharing an interesting corner of your abode.

Cheers, Eric -

Jesse, I’ve only seen one other of those boxes and it too came with a Cavanagh, though a different model. I imagine yours did too originally. Beware of storing a light colored hat without a cover in that box. The dye in that paper will transfer to a hat, I know.

Wow, good to know BB. I would have never thought that would happen. Probably a good idea even in cases with the plexiglass supports too.

It was faint and I didn’t notice it until I had the hat for awhile. Came from an estate sale and I’m sure it had set idle in the box for a long time.

I don’t have pictures of it since I sold it a while back, but I had a similar reaction to a very nice high end Martin guitar. It was a post 2000 model, and the green hard shell case interior had bled into the cream/ivoroid binding of the guitar, and partially into the Brazilian rosewood back and sides. It was a common incident though. After doing research, it was a specific year of cases and specific green padding.

Wow, Ross, I haven’t heard of that before. These hat boxes are pretty cheaply made and the tube is paper covered in a thin maroon vinyl or adhesive backed plastic. Not good for the contact points of the hat.

Eric, thank you very much for taking the time to comment on my arrangement. I try to keep my essentials organized. I try to stay inspired, this is just one of my many odd ways of doing so. Appreciate you sir!

woah, yes. Mine definitely did not come with a “one hundred” and I wish it did! Thanks for sharing those photos. Looks like the case makes sense for the hat! Shame about the discoloration issue. I have 2 S100 cases, one with the plastic holder and one without. I was hoping to keep hats in them without any bags or covers but you make a great point. Better safe than sorry!
