I just won this “Dobbs” Knox 20. You got to love misidentified hats. :)

Now I have to see if his description of “No flaws” is more accurate than his “Dobbs” description.

That's a good get. Great proportions and in your size. Hope it's as good on arrival.

Thanks, Bill. Anything in my size is a coup.

Without doing some more digging I would concur with the 50s. The hat block depth is still included in the factory tag, and the dimension fits with the timeframe. Great find!

EDIT: Did a little more digging and now thinking possibly 40s. The factory tags in the 50s included the words "oval", "block", and "size" along the bottom whereas yours doesn't.

This is probably a jumping hat because it got out from Idaho and appeared on Utah, Nebraska and Minnesota. Probably will check out on Kentucky to make the giant leap over a lil pond.
Finally found a black grizzly. Its not vintage... but it will probably do.

Looking forward to photos of that one. Congratulations! I know it has been a long wait for a black grizzly.

Was that homburg listed by he seller who had a Mallory in 7 5/8 for sale at the same time? I held off bidding on the Stetson hoping to get the Mallory but then at the end it went over my cap and by then I had missed the St. Regis.

Good looking hats in any case!
