Ha! I've not been hiding, just lurking when I can!

Another cowboy hat...

This one is from 1991, but the shop had been around since the 1940s at least.

So that's you behind the curtain over there?

Cool name, "Hatatorium"! I guess its a rule of thumb, a black leather sweatband is post 1950s? I always associate it with a hat made in the mid to late 60s and later, unless there is some other outstanding feature indicating an earlier make.

definitely not a rule of thumb

although that sometimes seems like the case ... there are plenty of examples of black sweats much farther back than the 50s

You scored a Canadian Biltmores. Nice.
The President is a higher grade. Even nicer.

Good to know! I was just happy with a decent looking hat in my size.

Based on the sweat band, do you think I got two Biltmore's?

Yes. Both and the black one was made by Biltmore and looks like it was branded for JJ Hats (great shop) in NYC.

And another cowboy hat! I guess the good thing about buying two hats on the same day is that my wife might only be pissed off once (but most likely twice). Sears Pilgrim 3X (Formease) by Byer-Rolnick.

Formease trademarked by Byer-Rolnick in 1942.

 

[Bob Roberts]

What's worse? Pissed off twice as much one time or pissed off a little less twice...?

Twice as much one time. Rip off that band-aid...

I know the feeling. After collecting a number of "normal" hats the older ones start looking more and more attractive every time. And even though I don't wear bowlers I would certainly want to add this one to the fold. Good score!

Thank you. You nailed it on the head my friend. I've opened up to wearing them occasionally, and they're quite nice.

I haven't posted anything here in many years, but I just got word that the hat I commissioned from Michael Gannon is on its way to me. And since I wouldn't have known about Gannon Hat Company without this fine forum, I figure I owe you guys a thank you. Here's a picture he sent me of the hat:
