No horse and carriage anywhere to be found on this one . Do you know when the carriage came into use?50s indeed... and an absolutely gorgeous hat at that
no sign of the horse and carriage on the sweat ?
I don't ... but mine has it and I believe mine is late 40s or very early 50s before plastic on the linerNo horse and carriage anywhere to be found on this one . Do you know when the carriage came into use?
Strange. This one has the '40's style info tag under the felt and the pre-carriage sweat, but a 50's liner with plastic cover.I don't ... but mine has it and I believe mine is late 40s or very early 50s before plastic on the liner
an earlier sweat would have the "Dobbs" debossed though no?Strange. This one has the '40's style info tag under the felt and the pre-carriage sweat, but a 50's liner with plastic cover.
Might be cellophane , Alan. Is that earlier?Plastic or cellophane?
haha... I'm not sure , Anthony. From what I read on the Professor's site the carriage logo followed the non-carriage logo in the early 1950's. Embossed was even earlier.... ?an earlier sweat would have the "Dobbs" debossed though no?
