Stetson Stuff

[alanfgag]

Great stuff Victor... no date?

Joao, you are probably thinking of the style sheet scans posted by Joshbru some time ago.

 

[Renault]

I can picture you under a good number of those beauties, Renault. Gotta get to work on our time machine.

I'm ready!!! Let's saddle up!

I think that catalog was from the 1920's. It came from the retail store in Phily.

I don't know Joao! But I think I need me a "Round Up"!!!!

The montana with a bigger brim would be a killer.

Can I go too?

I don't know. I do know I have seen this booklet before in the Lounge.

Stetson invoice from 1877

Stetson invoice from 1877. It appears to be signed, John B. Stetson. I suppose it could really be his signature.

 

[Joshbru3]

That is an AMAZING find! Its very likely his real signature! Considering the company was only 12 years old at the time, I would have to assume that major invoices ($152.28 was a lot of money back then) would have passed his desk for approval.


Many letters in both signatures look to be identical to this documented signature on this 1882 Ad from the Sacramento Daily Record

 

[RJR]

Interesting signed documents.

 

[alanfgag]

Possible, but the mark below the signature on the invoice might be from the clerk who prepared it. Either way, a wonderful early Stetson document.

1916 Stetson Pamphlet

 

[Strapped-4-Cache]

Interesting pinches on the Criterion model.

Edit: Just realized the pinches are the same on all of the Homburg styles. Never seen it before.

Picked up another bronze medallion that had not been engraved. It had a hole drilled in it so....

I've been hunting the Roycroft Campus for years for an original printing of that book... great find.
And the medal is fobulous.

 

[besdor]

Nice finds!!!

 

[buler]

One of each?

 

[Lotsahats]

Yes, please. And a display case for my home.

 

[BobHufford]

I thought that was Alan's library ... and he had to ditch the books.

So much for storing on the brim.....
