Stetson Imperial - A great score....

[Cane Rod Maker]

I've been somewhat dormant over the past couple months. I have however aquired a few hats and would like to share them with you. So I'll be doing a few posts in the near future of some Tony B. Lids and VS lids which I picked up since my last visit to the Lounge.

For your enjoyment is one of my first top quality Vintage Stetson scores. It arrived yesterday, open crown. I quickly got to work on it; after my wife went to bed of course.....

I have a hard time finding Vintage in my size, so when I had the opportunity to grab this beauty, I sure could not pass it up. Information from JTL dates this lid to 1951-1952. The hat was made in Philadelphia,PA. Enjoy! CRM.

That one's got it all - and to find it in that large size is fortunate for sure. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Excellent! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

It's also interesting to see that O.P.S. tag. It's different from the ones I have seen before.

As fine a lid as ever Stetson produced, Tim. Looks like it was made for you too!

Thank you for the great feedback....

Guys, thanks for the great feedback on my crease; I'd like to add it to the creative crease collection.

One gentleman asked for a detailed step by step to do a crease for his lid; I'd be glad to post it, if interested make a mention and I'll put it out there.

Thanks again!
