Jim thank you. I have another one with the "excellent" designation I believe, but the liner is totally different.

Dang that Hommie is "purty" @PanosChris ! We all need one like that.

Two great finds, panos. The colour on that homburg is exceptional!

Stefan thanks! If that was a bit older and with a satin finish I would have stopped collecting...maybe

My submission to this thread, gentlemen. Recent rare find (for me) Mallory Pliafelt Gray. 3 inch whip-stiched brim w/all the bells and whistles of beautiful piece. Learned a bunch from the submissions in this this thread. But believe me. I only know what I know! Gotta do some research on Pliafelt and its popularity back in the day. In the meantime, I'm keeping this away from my mouth as I drool too often over this find.

Beautiful! You got a good one there. Pre-Stetson, even! It looks heathered on my monitor - is that correct?

Wowza! I'm drooling here as well as I could wear that size. Killer hat Doc!

Thanks! I learned something today! Pre-Stetson possibility! Yes. It does have that 'heather' type finish!

Above thread, Buler has indicated that the "tombstone" logo has been bracketed in ads from 1925-35. I'd guess a little leeway is in order on the production, but given it's obvious age, that's a well-preserved specimen.
