Knox Premier Strat clone from Adrian. Nice old hat with great felt. I'm feeling pretty good about a casual diamond.

Another great exhibit of the Moon Museum! Is that a purple colored ribbon on the first one. Quite a bold choice for the 1950s.

Thanks Mike
The ribbon is actually a very dark grey... almost black... it photographs purple for some reason...

Wonderful hats, all of them. You don't like to do things by half, do you?

At least I think it's a Knox. The liner says, very faintly, "Moveo et Proficio," which I've read here was the Knox motto at some point:

This Knox Twenty was given to me in it's original box. You'll see why in the last pic. I'm posting it for documentation purposes only, in case someone can learn something from the tag, etc.

Damn bugs!

Really hurts to see the moth damage!

The liner, sweat, ribbon & bow, & wind trolley are all in great shape & will probably end up in my parts box.

They had a huge meal. I was getting all excited as I scrolled down. Damn bugs.

Knox it is! Has the sweat been replaced and no markings?

I don't have it with me to look, but I don't think the sweat is new. What happened was that I'd won a similar hat on eBay. The seller checked and found the hat I'd bid on was pretty badly moth-damaged. So -- with no prompting from me, mind you -- he sent a similar hat in the same size, no charge! Which turned out to be this Knox. I've been wearing it as a lid for light rain, and it's hanging in there beautifully.

This person is an upright seller! I would praise him well in feedback. You came out smelling like a rose on this transaction. Detail shots of this Knox would be in order for this thread.

Who was the seller?
