No Name Hat Manufacturing Co. hat worn at the 1904 reunion of the United Confederate Veterans Association held in Nashville, TN. Hat was found in Nashville.

Will cross post in "Slouch Hats - the Old, the New, and the Sentimental" thread.

That's easy ... 20 bucks

I kid... we would obviously have to see it unfortunately

And even then giving a value is subjective but a ball park estimate of what someone might pay is possible

Not very much on these I can find. They must be rare? Certainly old as I have read the history of company. Could not find one for sale anywhere! Any thoughts on value appreciated

Plusses are felt appears to be in good shape and it's a desirable size. Minuses, mostly the sweatband is gone and it will need some work, possibly by a pro. Also, bowlers/derbies don't command as much on the open market as soft felts.

No Name hats are rare, but not as desirable as other brands, unless you're a hard core collector.

Just spitballing, but on a good day, perhaps $40-$70 on eBay. Most likely on the lower end of that, though because of the absence of a sweatband.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

You could place it on eBay, if you're looking to sell, with an opening bid of $70 and see if anyone bids...

Welcome to the site, and good luck with your hat!

Ok, the No Name Hat Company is the Hat Company's name, but there name is the No Name Hat company so the hat company has no name.

Reminds me of Mr. Spock, "Everything I say is a lie", but if everything you say is a lie, the the truth is that everything you say is the truth, but everything you say is a lie. I think it was Voyager that blew up at that point.
