Thanks, & no pun was intended. I was thinking it had to be 666 or 664 or maybe 644. I couldn't find the list of blocks someone put together in the past.

This is the only other 1X nutria that I remember seeing - posted somewhere forward in this thread, I think. Shares many of the features of Justin's example above - silver store imprint, stub sweatband bow with round size sticker. Different block (322) and lower crown, dress hat felt weight and LOT3057 which I would guess makes it slightly earlier.

If you've got the spare change and a giant head, I would scoop up Justin's hat on eBay. It's a rare beauty.

and most importantly it bears that delicious 'Fray' sweatband. Beautiful example, Alan!

Sadly I can't do it. A dream hat for sure as yours is. I just can't do it now... and it probably will sky rocket.

Excellent. I have to remember to never say never. Pretty soon they will be popping up all over. ;^)

I don't think you have to worry about that happening.

The body cleaned up rather nice. Is that just with a steam and brush, or did you do more?

Vacuum, steam and brush.

Recently acquired from Vic. And in his own words, "That liner is to die for!"

He wasn't kidding:

I don’t have a hat for this thread, but I just spent a couple very enjoyable hours looking for ideas for my newly acquired nutria hat body.

This thread deserves a bump.
