1944...London Paris New York Philly mark still in use

Interesting find... a few months after the liberation of Paris. I expect every piece of stationery was used during the war years. What is the latest liner we've seen with this mark? Around 1940 I'm guessing?

Ah yes... thinking of mine but I forgot about Feltfan's dated hat.

Here's a bump to this iconic Stetson for those who may not have seen it.

Interesting Stetson article from an 1891 newspaper. Too hard to cut and past so you'll have to go read it at the link. It can be zoomed.

I can handle them not being in order.

The one from the Paris Office is my prized hat-related possession. Purchased from a French site that has a policy against shipping outside of the EU, it went to a friend of a friend in Germany before it came to me.

Wow. Stetson was averaging sixty thousand hats a week in 1927. That's a lot of hats.
