Thanks Jack, it‘s a hat of ohne of those souvenirs shop at the Park. Could it be?

I wouldn't call it a souvenir shop as that emplies cheap junk. The shop would have been a dealer of better merchandise & the sweat was embossed as such. No different than a Western Wear store.

That Ponderosa Ranch was a theme park at Lake Tahoe, NV & had no connection to the 1960's TV series. I think it closed about 10 yrs ago. They probably sold hats & other branded merchandise thru their shops in the park. It is a nicely shaped hat.

I think parts of the show were actually shot there. I remember going at least once when I was younger. They had built up a strip of buildings to be 'Virginia City' that had different shops and what not.

Hello Guys,
I bought a Ten X Beaver Western Hat today on a Fleamarket.
I was very suprised after reading the sweatband lettering!
Ponderosa Ranch. I know the series Ponderosa But never saw a hat with this lettering. Any suggestion?

Beaver Brand, cool enough this evening for some head time. This gift from Bowen will not be boxed up for summer. I enjoy being able to look at it.

From Wikipedia:
The Ponderosa Ranch was a theme park based on the popular 1960s televisionwestern Bonanza, which housed the affluent land, timber and livestock-rich Cartwright family. The amusement park operated in Incline Village, Nevada, near Lake Tahoe, from 1967 until 2004. Portions of the last five seasons of the TV series and three TV movies were also filmed at that location.

I visited Ponderosa Ranch in 1975 or 1976. I recall that they had hats that were the copies of the TV show characters and it wasn't a typical western store. The shirts that weren't T shirts were like what the characters wore also. Not at all unusual for attractions like that, very much in line with getting mouse ear caps at Disneyworld but the hats were regular quality and not the costume stuff.

suitedcboy, thanks, that sounds good. Good to know that. The hat has a really good felt. Easy to shape.
