Stetson Exposition Medals

[Redfokker]

Here's my Exposition. Didn't draw much interest when I posted it before, probably in the wrong thread. Or maybe I need to take better pics.

I'm glad we have a chance to revisit this outstanding hat. The story and life of this hat is truly special. And now it has a special meaning to you as well. Sorry that it is connected to your loss, but you can remember the good times when ever you pull it out of the hat room.

A very generous 7 1/8!... should help with resale if it's too big. Nice!

Very generous indeed! Was a nice surprise for sure... safe to say i shimmed it so it'll fit, kinda. this one has been on the want list for a long time, and now i do... i guess we can say dreams occasionally do come true

Gorgeous! Do we think it is 1920s? Earlier?

This one has the 1915 Expo award, so 1915ish-early 20s is a good guess

Well, if it really is a 7 1/4, I'll double that and give you $27.00 for it. [emoji16]

Wow, this is a sweat heart Justin. Is the fluffy as nice as it looks? It says "pet me".

Always great to see another of these... nice find Justin. 1920 was a peak in early 20th century inflation charts. A decade earlier or a decade later, $13.50 would have turned some heads.

Thank you, Alan! Agreed, this hat was a head Turner in it's day, and it still maintains that ability

1900s Stetson Special

First example of this expo logo i have seen, as well as the oldest example of the "special" i have handled. looks to have cost $5 back in its day

looks to be LOT 1892

Hi Justin... this does not have an expo medal logo, but it does share some similar ink markings behind the sweatband. I thought I would add a few photos to accompany yours.
