I'm not very good at dating Borsalinos - I should leave that to the experts. But my GUESS is 50's and it very well could be wrongGreat find Mike.
Whats your guess Mike, how old is it.

What leads you to 1953? The type of sticker with the color, model name, and size on it?1953 or earlier would be my ballpark estimate.

The sticker with Borsalino logo running up the side as shown in your hat is, in general, earlier than the logo-less sticker, here from my pocket hat.
I have seen a number of O.P.S. Borsos (1951-1953) posted that show the newer label, Buler's recent 7 3/4 Alessandria is the only one I've seen with the older one. There must have been a period of transition which remains an unknown quantity... but that is what leads me to my estimate.
Thanks, guys. I really do appreciate the info.I would also say early 50s (same as Alan regarding the label) or maybe earlier although it is tough with Borsalinos. I have a better feel for Echter Borsalinos which are often date stamped.

Another Ohio hat!

Nice catch Rodkins, I like this one! I think it would work well on the head of a man who owned a pickup truck of approximately the same vintage.
