Bill, Great store photos! I viewed the Sarnoff Irving store front photo in high resolution (see link below). Fantastic! This time period was the Zenith of Soft and Stiff Felt hat making (at least in my opinion).

Treasure chest photo... thanks for sharing, B. The inside of that longhair looks to have an embossed leather sweatband reminiscent of the Wormser that I acquired earlier this year.
