The one in the ad most likely has a 5 1/2" crown and a 2 5/8" or 2 3/4" brim.

Dating:
Okay, going out for coffee is always a good choice for a first date. Always open the door her, don't go dutch unless she suggests it, and it's okay to hold her hand on the third date.
Or, if you were asking about the hats:
Dobbs #1: 1950s
Dobbs#2: Early- to mid-1940s
Dobbs #3: I stumbled on dating one like this earlier this year, as Art Fawcett was right and I was wrong. This one is most likely mid-1950s, though it could be later.

tail signs that set it apart from#1. I though #1 was newer than #3. I had #1 pick as an almost 60s hat
thanks agian . I will take photos of the tags when i get home, funny thing about number 3 is it has the same typeset tag (block, size ect) as number 2. That got me thinking 2 and 3 where from around the same time. Number 1 has the classic type writter tag that you see on 50s hats.Brad Bowers said:#1 could be newer than #3. I can only offer '50s on it, but it could be later in the decade. Your photo doesn't show it, but I'm assuming it has the Golden Coach logo, which started appearing about 1954.
#3: The gold-stamped, slanted Dobbs logo appears to have been used in the early-'50s, perhaps as early as 1946, and seems to be a transistion from the non-gold-stamped, slanted Dobbs logo that had been in use since 1908. The same gold-stamped logo was also used in the '60s. I'm just not sure if #3 is an early-'50s or a '60s hat.
Any other tags inside both of these?

Very nice. Yours is a little younger than those ads. More modest than the Adulterer or Repeat Offender.
