Fine hat! By the inside features, I would put it somewhere mid 60ies. What does it look like under the sweatband? Would be interesting to see, if there is some particular difference to other Cavanaghs of the same period.
jamespowers said:You and me both. I try to keep as much of it original as possible. Going so far as keeping the blown out original sweatband if I have it replaced.

ScottF said:Just brought home a Cavanagh bowler. I don't have pics yet, but perhaps this hat's characteristics are common enough that it won't matter:
- taped sweatband connects at side, not back.
- size is embossed on back of sweatband "Seven-one-eighth"
- top of sweatband is is curled back and then under (has a hidden lip)
- sweatband has a flexible sewn hinge, rather than being sewn tightly to the hat
- no liner, but large emblem that looks like piece of thin embossed cloth.
- typical Cavanagh frayed edge bow
- $10 price tag (Klopfenstein's)
