Dobbs Forty. Has 2 5/8 inch bound brim. Looks to be about early 1950's, or a bit before.

Well darn it..... I picked up a fairly modern Royal Deluxe silverbelly Stratoliner on the "Bay" a couple weeks ago.... and it dissappeared into the post office :( Item heading said 7-1/4... description said 7-1/4, and when I got a tracking alert that it had left Dallas on the way here I went back a looked at ALL the pictures more closely... Yep right there when I zoomed in the almost new looking tag said 7-1/8... Stuff like this will teach me to carelessly bid late at night lol

I was just looking for a fairly decent looking knock around hat for when the weathers iffy. Guess I either need to find someone that has a 7-1/4 or 7-3/8 thats too big for a swap , Or I need to do some dissassembly and resizing.

Oh well ....at least I know it in advance and wont be terrible bummed when it gets here.
