I had never heard of this brand before. That doesn't mean it's rare, given my level of ignorance, but Bill, aka @buler, says it is.
I am glad for long-time, knowledgeable members who share their finds with us neophytes.
Thank you, Bill. It is a beautiful hat.
I think I remember that Ignacio once told me he has a way of getting rid of liner ink marks that doesn't involve scissors.

Not much to go on, and it doesn’t look that old, but this Dobbs West is heading my way:

Ah! Thank you, Bowen. I will try that. Ana says that milk works if the ink isn't too old. This one probably is.

Three purchases from Etsy.
First, Knox long hair. Seller says 1930s. Opinions?
I think this will probably be on my 10 best list.

Marked 7 3/8. Brim, 2 3/4 inches and Crown is 5 3/4 inches

Second, Airliner. Roberto from CityVintageClothes says the white line isn't from stacking. He says he dry blocked it to get rid of wrinkles from storage, and the line is a mark from the sweatband. If it is, Ignacio will take care or it. If not, maybe a new ribbon. It is going to need a new sweatband anyway.
Also from 1930's?

I never heard of this brand before. Has anyone?
High crown Fedora is Marked Size 7 3/8.
Hat crown measures 5 inches Tall with brim just over 2 1/2 approximately.

Nice trio, but that Knox is insane.

It was a package deal. It is the only way to negotiate with Roberto. He's tough, 'cause he knows what he has.

Based on the label I’d say 1950s for the Knox. At least it compares to the labels for several I have that are supposed to be 50s.

Thank you, Bill. I was hoping it would be a little earlier, since there is no stitching on the back of the sweatband

There’s those who would commit murder for such a hat. I love everything about this one. I don’t want to know what this cost, but whatever it was it was worth it.

I bought all three for $525 plus shipping. He was asking $425 for the Knox, $125 for the Airlite, and $85 for the Bangora.

Those were up there a while I think? You finally bit the bullet? That Knox is sweet.

Of course I could be wrong.
