Here's a nice find, which I updated today with a very nice vintage ribbon & bow, in "horizon" blue (steely).
Asking Price: $225.00
Era: Early 1950's based on oilskin sweatband liner.
Size: Marked 7 1/8, measures between 7-7 1/8 (56+ cm) with three different measuring compasses.
Brim: 1 1/2"
Ribbon: 1 7/16 (16 ligne)
Brand: Beaver Brand (Langenberg)
Felt: "One Hundred Percent Pure Beaver Fur." This is really amazing felt fellas, it creases easily to any shape with no steam. I have dozens of vintage hats, including a few 100% beaver, and this is far and away the nicest felt. It appears to have no lacquer, and does not need it.
Condition: Excellent in all respects, but for some "foxing" on the liner, which has a plastic tip protector.
