The STETSON WAY, Advertising and ephemera of the Golden Era

[RickP]

If you ever encounter a Stetson Sterling Silver cocktail shaker or any barware, I’m your man.

Ill definately keep you in mind.... I just wanted a couple pieces with the Stetson logo to go with the hats and framed advertising... Ive seen Stetson ,and a silver place pitcher a week or so back on a Goodwill auction site, but they got pricy at the last minute. If I see any bar-ware Ill drop you a note.. I agree a cocktail shaker would be cool

Got a few more Stetson Ads framed and up on the walls. Bing Crosby, Burt Lancaster, David Niven, Ray Milland, and Bob Hope have all joined the wall. Have some others framed up and ready to go, but im going to have to rearrange one of the walls to make room.

Also won an auction for a $8 Stetson Silver / Copper flower vase. Wont be till sometime next week.

In case anyone runs across one of the original ww2 Stetson "Keep it under your Stetson" ads that has a Blue Egyptian Spinx wearing a Stetson... drop me a note... Thats one Ive been trying to find forever. All Ive found are modern reproductions

Woo hoo! I found another Stetson Silver piece. This one a flower vase. It was advertised as silver and brass.... guess someone didnt know that you have to clean and polish silver plate. Did a quick cle3an and now its all silver again... gotta find where I put my jar of silver creme

Back in the day
when brimmed hats
were widely available
and expensive
and today they
are rare and expensive
