Dobbs Twenty
Size 6 7/8
Brim 2 1/2"
Crown 4 3/4" (bashed)
Ribbon 1 7/8"
Guild Edge
The color is some kind of taupe. In direct sunlight it appears to be gray, but with indoor lighting, it takes on a slightly brownish/beige tint.
There are a few month tracks, especially on the underside of the brim. Also, there is a dark smudge at the top front of the crown, and it appears that something sharp had pierced the felt at the same spot, even though it doesn't go all the way through. The sweat is split in a few places and some stitches have come loose, but I am reluctant to put in a new one at the moment.
Brad pointed out that the hat seems to be from the mid-50s, as the patent number that is given on the sweat dates from 1953. Great bit of info here.
