My latest Disney is currently on eBay but I don’t think everyone looking knows what it really is. Best guess is it’s a size 7 1/8 (no idea what the inside of the sweatband was stamped 7 1/2). Glorious felt.

Someone I recently bought a hat from just offered me this Disney Gold Label Beaver Twenty in 7 ⅛. I love the hat, but not the size or the $500 asking price. This is NOT my hat, but I’m posting it here with the owner’s blessing:

View attachment 466037 View attachment 466038 View attachment 466039 View attachment 466040 View attachment 466041 View attachment 466042 View attachment 466043 View attachment 466044

Neither the hat nor the photos are mine so this is all I have or know.
It is an exceptional beauty. Wish I could say the same about the price...

The Disney Fifteen I bought in January. The previous owner showed it on pg 18 of this thread, but the color is washed out of the photos. It's sort of beige, in some light it seems faintly yellow, I think. Has 3 inch brim. I assume it dates pre 1947 from reading this thread.

Disney Gotham. Short brim beauty. Appears as new / unworn condition with original box. snug 7 1/4, Once I brushed and steamed the hat it lit up like new again. Not sure of age on Disney hats. Even came with a rain hat protector that has never been opened.

Hey all,
I could be wrong but believe a "Disney Toronto" x Dobbs x Biltmore has yet to be posted about here... or anywhere else I could find.
Was scouting the bay for old Canadian Biltmores and came across this short brimmed beauty...
Not much info was given from the seller and got no reply back about brim width or other measurements, but after going through this thread I figured it was worth taking a gamble on at the right cost.

Was listed as black by the seller but my money is on it being a navy or midnight blue... at least to my eyes judging by a few of the photos.
Had no mention of Dobbs or Disney brands in the listing.
Comes with what i presume is the Original box, black and yellow Biltmore octagonal.
Original price of the hat as seen on the lid of the box says $10.
Sweatband looks like it's brand new.
The felt i assume is soft and dry moldable, judging by the pinch in the one photo.

Was listed as buy it now for $60 CAD or make a offer ... I offered $30 and after waiting nearly 24 hrs they finally accepted.
With rhe shippong cost and tax, it'll cost about $73... Did i get a good one for my $75 Worth?

Looks to be in immaculate shape. Although, it may have some salt stains from ear tips touching the brim or could just be dust, im not sure... either way should clean up vary nicely.

Any knowledge insight about its age, rarity etc would be appreciated. From what I can gather this is pre 1948 since it's not a Mr Disney?
Considering the gold size tag, golden chariot dobbs logo, oilsilk liner and dobbs liner logo... my best guess it dates the hat to the mid 40s? Does 1945-47 seem accurate to those more knowledgeable?
