From one Dobbs lover to another, congrats Blare! Wish I could tell you a date, but I'm not the one to ask. I do know this one is a favorite of mine. Found in a closet once belonging to my great-grandfather. He too loved a Dobbs and I never remember seeing him without one. Probably the last one he ever purchased around 1960 or so.My first post here on the actual lounge. Though I have been on the FB page for some time.
This Dobbs is the first of a two'fer of black hats that arrived today. I was more focused on the Cavanagh that came with it when I made the purchase. However after arrival and getting them cleaned up a bit... it appears this one is quite a gem. The brim is about 2 1/4 with a Guild Edge (Cavanagh) the open crown is about 5 1/4 or 4 3/4 as now shaped and sports a 2 1/4 black ribbon The felt is super smooth and took a hand crease with ease. The tag inside was not one I've seen before. It had the specs and $15 pricing on it.

Anyone have any thoughts on age?
I can already tell this one is going to be a favorite for me.
Best,
Joe
