There are so few occasions for wearing a hat like this Dobbs. So I use the holiday to do so.

The "244 & 620 Fifth Avenue, 2 West Fiftieth Street" crest suggests an early 1920s vintage (but what do I know?).

Hope that each of you are having a swell time today. View attachment 99648 View attachment 99649 View attachment 99650 View attachment 99651
My 1928 Dobbs Homburg has almost the same liner crest, but with 324 as the first address, not 244. The Prof said that '28 was the only year all three of those addresses were active at the same time. I bet yours is close. Looks great.

Mom knows just the right gift for a hat freak. Especially when I write it down...:D

Thanks, Moe.

I did my guestimating based on the crests he has posted. Today was the first time I thought to check it. I had assumed a later vintage because of the hat's great condition. 'Twas a pleasant Christmas surprise.

Have fun.
