It's interesting, isn't it. J. B. Stetson 13 Star Quality? I wonder what that's about. Aren't there 13 stars, leaves, arrows etc on the back of the dollar bill?

Its got the fray, the V stitch, the decorative tattered ribbon. LOVE IT!
Hopefully you haven't sold yet but in case you didn't and you ever feel like parting with it I'd buy it off you in a heartbeat sir!Got this big (24" circumference!) ole Stetson in today. For having a thicker felt its still very lightweight. A Standard Quality Feather Weight. Very light and floppy with a super soft velour-like hand. Maybe a steam will activate some stiffener. The sweatband has a very strange texture and is that odd grey color. Was glad to see no moths have attacked it.
Barth's note:
Victor Barth Clothing/Bingham’s
Moses Barth moved his business to Columbia in 1865 after his general store in Rocheport was burned down by Civil War guerillas. His nephews, Victor and Joseph, took over the store in 1868, and Victor bought out his brother in 1906. Cousins Joseph and Isadore Barth (founder of the Round Table Club) built a new building on the same corner in 1910 and named it after Victor, who died the previous year. Longtime employee Joseph Hourigan took a half interest in the business after Victor died and full interest after Joseph died. Barth’s closed in 1987, and Bingham’s took its place.

I just bought this beautiful looking Royal De Luxe Stetson for my collection! Think it looks great?
It looks great, but it is a 1950's hat. Enjoy!
