I knew that would be an early one... thanks for adding it here.
Lot 5476 (educated guess on the 5 after Photoshop forensics)
Fantastic Allen, the inside looks like the lap of luxury.
I was going to go out on a limb and guess 5XXX but you were too quick on the draw. Great early western... thanks for posting this.
What amazes me most about these great old western hats is how the heck they survived all this time with barely any evidence of wear. I suspect that the "stories they could tell" would be more about the action they missed than anything, but that would be just as fascinating to me.
I love the frayed ribbon end on this one.
