How about some farmer's hats.
Awesome pics Red! My avatar is from my '58 Ford tractor owner's manual cover. Note the hat.
How about some farmer's hats.
From the "Traces of Texas" FB page:
"Galveston in 1915 . . . before the devastating hurricane of August 16th, which still ranks (adjusted for inflation) as the fourth costliest storm in U.S. history."
Wow,great pic.
I just found it on the web (in this thread) so I think we're OK. There is an ancestor hat pic thread though:Edit:Well darn it... I didn't find this on the web. Off topic. Sorry.

Love the pics.Found some interesting stuff last time I was at work. This guy is Porter Appleman, the photo is dated 1909. He is the grandfather of a very famous historian, William Appleman Williams. We have his manuscript collection. It appears that the early family was into hunting dogs in a major way, there is a whole box of turn of the century retrievers and spaniels. This is the only hat photo I could find. It appears to have some weathering to it, and has an interesting look. The dog's name is "Old Mac".
