lot 5743
1930s Stetson Standard Quality Zephyr Weight
LOT 358 (or could it be 7358 like the one above)?
So here's my thoughts, is it possible that the lot number isn't for the sweat bands?
We've seen the old Stetson invoices or slips that companies would use to order hats from Stetson. Could the lot number pertain to those invoices; so if Eakle ordered 50 hats from Stetson in a variety of colors and finishes on one invoice, could that be why these match up, even though they are different finishes & weights?
Left side of documents shows LOT info with varying numbersIt is certainly a plausible thought, Justin. A strong clue would be to find a document that references a LOTXXXX number with a purchase order or invoice. Four digits would not seem adequate to cover even a fraction of the orders in a single year, though, during the era when they were used.
