Good evening. I lucked up and acquired this old Stetson. I was hoping some of you vintage hat aficionados could fill in the historical blanks about this particular model. Age? Place in the Stetson line hierarchy....?
The brim length is 2 3/4” and the open crown hight 5 1/2”
I have to say the felt is very nice and supple. It is still a work in progress as I attempt to nurse it back into form.
Thanks for your help.

Good get, D. That's a great hat. I believe we have a Sovereign Twenty thread around here that can show you some additional examples of the style. The unusual thing I see about it is the reference to "beaver" twenty, as they normally say just "twenty." Many of these seem to have come with a mode edge, as well, but yours is an overwelt? Any additional pics of markings, liner tip?
Anyway, great find. You wear it well.
