Probably not very helpful, but I did a newspaper search, and found the text: "Chappell Clothing in Nebraska, with FA Schroeder Proprieter", with ads starting in 1926, ending in 1963.

Thanks! Yeah I tried to look into the store a bit the other day but didn’t get too far, I couldn’t figure out the address to get a shot of the building.

I think porch pirates got this one ...
Heartbreaking. I’ve lost a few packages too and had to switch to having everything shipped to my office where there is always someone to sign for them and secure them immediately. I never lost anything as nice as that grand old hat of yours.

Butch Dorer made for M.L. Leddy's.
Made Expressly for Buster Welch (!?) The hat was out of an estate sale in Missouri City, Texas and the famous Mr. Welch (of Abilene) recently passed away. Could be his I suppose ...

Good news! Apparently it was delivered to a neighbor (on the 10th) and they just now brought it over to my daughter (I had sent it to her address just so it didn't sit on my porch until I could get it). Whew!
Good to hear, Bob. All's well that ends well.
Looking forward to seeing more photos.

Playing hat-stack-roulette again ...
The stampede string belongs to this!
There are also a couple of candles in the lot (??), but I'll make sure they don't ship those.

Certainly a lot cleaner than the two hats I won for 50-cents ... well 60-cents with the buyers premium. I'm sure the auction house will make it up on shipping.
Oh ... and they are 7-1/8 too, of course.
^^^^^ Scat-o-liner?
I think they will need to stay in quarantine for at least 14 days.

I hope they clean up. The Stetson has some real potential.
