[/QUOTE]Here is one from 1963 in a dark moss with flecks of blue and grey.
Open: 5-3/4 inches
Centre-creased: 4-1/2 to pinch and 5 to side
Brim: 2 inches
Black ribbon: 2 inches and a wind trolley
The brim edge seems to be similar to that of the Stetson Mode Edge style, or a kind of pressed felt.
There is a number ‘33489’, but the paper was brittle so hard to photograph.
Original receipt : purchased on 10 October 1963
That Borsalino selling for $59 in 1963 is equivalent to $505 today when you factor in inflation. That seems way too high, right, for 1963? I thought the range would be around $22.00. Anyone know what prices Borsalinos sold for back in 1963? Amazing.

It's a beauty. Congrats. The receipt is a bit puzzling though, because the price seems way too high for the time period. The label puts in that era though.
