Nothing but stetson ads

These are from a local store in 1898 (first two) and 1900:

This was the store in 1894:

Neat picture.

Yet another local. Same location, different businesses. 1925 and 1930.

It is an absolute shame what happened to this thread because of photobucket being complete garbage
There has to be something that can be done ... this thread is far too valuable to let decay
Anyone ???

I agree, to recreate the images from what is left on Google would be cumbersome. Here is my collection off my hard drive:

A few more just for good measure. I have some high resolution files on some of these if anyone wants them.

This has been happening with a LOT of great threads.......I agree...it really is a shame. AND this is still happening even with new posts.......As you and I know, people can post here directly....(though I am not sure how long those photos last) but MANY do not seem to know this.............perhaps some new information or alerts from the administrators would help.....

My hard drive is hosting all of my photos now. My flickr account also keeps them around. I had a photobucket account years ago but let it lapse. As long as I'm alive, my images will live on in the posts.

I still advocate directly uploading photos to the FL. That way, they're stored on the local servers and not subject to the whims of hosting companies or the Members. This si especially true of historical documentation, like this thread.

In the third ad down, the Stetson Aviator. Was that the Stratoliner's predecessor?
It's interesting seeing the evolution of some of the well known hats over time, like the Flagship and Stetsonian, as well as hats that have been completely unknown to me.

When I find them on Ebay or Google, I save them to my hard drive. They always come in handy for discussion here.

Bump of a worthy resource. Read backwards and you will avoid Lefty's sadly missing photo links.

Yeah, there's still some good stuff in here. I just went through the entire thread earlier today trying to find a reference to a recent purchase.

Just putting this in here as well. 1929.

 

[Just Daniel]

1948

 

[alanfgag]

This hat is 10-15 years later than the ad, with price tag behind the sweat at $7.50 reflecting the fall in hat prices from the roaring twenties to the depression era.

Nice to see an old Stetson ad listed on my birthday....the year is slightly off though
