Steve, thanks for the additional information.Stefan, The two I have are the same quality type. My other one has less long hairs but might be wear. The other two on my website that don't belong to me have different finishes / colors.
This "Clipper" belonged to Paddy doesn't have a quality type.
This "Clipper" that belongs / belonged to Manfred is a "Melé".

Bought this hat about a week ago for the summer time, it’s my first straw and didn’t really go for an expensive one as I didn’t know if it would be “my thing” so to say.
It’s by German Western Hat manufacturer Stars&Stripes and is a size 7 (56). I really like the lining on the inside of the crown.
(Disclaimer: it is not a Stetson, just put it on display on a Stetson box)

Love the furry ones. Shame that long hairs are so rare.

Steven told me he likes textured felts. Now I see what he meant. The contrast between light and dark hairs is rivetting. Outstanding hat.

Cool hat!
Allen Thurman (Senator from Ohio) was his running mate in 1892.
Great! Thank you! Wonder who made the hat. The sweatband is torn and tattered unfortunately. The leather box it came with might have more details. I'll look it over again. I believe the lock had a year from around 1892 stamped onto it.

They appear from time to time.
Rare is a Stetson 100 with a 4" brim.

Quick update, I did a little research and it seems the Cleveland - Thurman campaign was launched in 1888. They ended up losing, and Cleveland ran again in 1892 with a different running mate (Adlai Stevenson). The hat box lock is stamped "Eagle Lock Co, patent July 27 1897 Terryville, CT USA". Thanks again!

Churchill Dalworth "40" OR just arrived. Has that sponge-like hand to it something like my Twenty-Five OR does. The color Palomino has a Sage green undertone. Better pics to come when I have time to tweak the hat.

Jack, looks like a different block number than my Resistol Dalworth. I have noticed the Sage green undertone on mine also, especially next to other silverbellys.

Just shipped it off to VS for cleaning, reblocking, new ribbon and new sweatband....told him to give it the Nucky Thompson treatment. Hope to post more pics when it gets returned.

I don't think so. I think it's part of the model code. Block numbers are usually two or three digit numbers. Such as 52, or 484 (I think that's the San Antonio block).

Thank you, my mistake. I am going to search through my Resistols now!

Agreed. Churchill used a black liner. I didn't spend much time looking under the edges earlier. I can't imagine the reorder tag is under there but I'll look harder when I take better pics.
It's so hot here it's hard to wear felt & I won't be making steam & putting more humidity in the house anytime soon. So I may leave the hat as is for a few days but take better pics tomorrow.
The brim has more flange cup on the sides than I like on an OR Cattleman & the front has a swoop. Due to the heat I'll leave it for now.

I don't recall seeing block numbers much especially after they moved to those newer, two part tags.
