I like the Strat. I have three of them. Glad you found one for yourself. Can't wait to see the photos.
ebay thread?
other than ebay thread?
strat thread?

So Tom where will the Majors Stratoliner go. Hatco Strat thread or here?

Why not rename this thread the Vintage Stratoliner Society, or something along those lines?
Well, it already does have one (though admittedly drifting a bit OT). It's already past 40 pages, and details the entire process associated with that hat, from the beginning to current status- so it would be a shame to move that one to somewhere else.Not vintage, so not here... I'd like to see a dedicated FF3/Buckaroo Hatters Stratoliner thread.
Speaking of Strats... when did the oval, silver box start getting sold with the Strat? Was it right away? Or was it later into the late 40s or early 50s?
The reason I ask is that the vita felt version did not need that narrow box to "preserve" the curve of the brim, right? So, maybe the box started later in the Strat's lifespan?
Anyone know for sure?
Excellent. Thanks.Look at post #50 of this thread. The box was mentioned in a 1940 ad which is when the model started.
Great collection you have there I must be nice not having a big head.
