Very nice! I love it when both the hat, and the retailer, have history.

1950's Knox Forty. Has 1 7/8 inch brim and 5 1/2 inch open crown. I suppose this hat might be pre-1955 since Knox came out with their Knox Fifty in 1955. The mfg tag says the block depth is 5 3/4 inches.

1950's Knox One Hundred. Has 2 1/2 inch brim with Custom Edge. On this hat, the Custom Edge looks closer to a Cavanagh Edge than other Knox hats I have with this edge treatment and don't really resemble a Cavanagh Edge.
