Justdog said:Very excellent point, and where to find that information? From the release to the end of the (100's) marketing life. Although this is the OR thread and is being thrown a bit off topic. Vintage 100 open road and 7x OR are in this thread. Someone commented on my 100 a long time ago and it was the finish and craftsmanship that identified it as a 100 as well as the 100 in the sweat and liner. Have seen OR,s with the same liner. I would have a hard time with the block in mine morphing it into a fedora style OR. Mine has Philadephia USA on the manufacturing red and white label under the sweat and is number 102. No price. Lots of posts here list the marketing prices. Would be nice to see a history of the evolution and demise of the purest form of the 100 as we all seem have a fairly agreeable view of what it was and how we see it on the lounge. I will just have to keep my eyes open for 2 OR.s in my size of 7x and 100 qualities.
Justddog, the first Stetson 100 I found had 102 written on the red/white label also. See here: Stetson100
