Thank you!!! Awesome addition!!!!
Yes..it is a large stamp....measures 1 1/2 x 2 inches. I assume yours is the same?
Two really nice finds, Mark. Congrats!After years of searching I finally found a "Stetson Man/Marshall" hat clip. It came with a mid-late 50's 25 OR (the only hat that seems to have come with them, or at least all I have seen are on these 50's Twenty-Fives that are also Open Roads. Here it is:

The pin has a clip with a guard at the bottom and is just wide enough to accommodate the OR Ribbon. The back of the clips are marked "Sterling". I was so pleased to get it with my hat!
AND Then I find one loose in the wild!!!! And here it is along with a slightly more detailed and larger charm from the same era. The Stetson Clips are just under 3/4" and the charm is 1". There are actually a lot of the charms (of various detail and size) out there. So many in fact I thought about adding a pin to the back of one for use on one of my OR's.....but....now I don't have to.

This clip will probably adorn my 7XCB and the charm will now end up on a watch chain as a fob.
Thought they needed to be shown here in the Stetson Way thread!
Package was rough but the blotter unharmed, and am I happy to now actually have in hand this scarce advertisement!}Cool piece, Mark. I have some doubts about that delivery boy though...Circa 1915.....is this not the reaction we all get when our Stetson arrives?!?!?!?!

{Background: I posted this in my Cleaners, Hatters, Dyers thread last week or so thinking it was forever lost/destroyed by the USPS as it was over 2 months from when it was sent....BUT...yesterday it shows UP!!!!!

Here's another Stetson Quality Assurance slip that was with a Nutria Quality hat dating from the 1940's to early 50's. John Gavin is the Stetson employee on this slip.
