Hey there! I’m not certain about the trolley. You are more of a hat aficionado than I am. I have a hunch you are much closer to being correct. It was on the hat when I purchased it a while back. The hat was presented as old and authentic. From your knowledge, I bet the seller was mistaken. Hope all is well back your way today.Well, didn’t know I had bought this fine Knox from you! Sorry that it’s taken me so long to reply, but I just read your post today. I’ve been so very busy lately.
Anyway, Glad you letter go. She’s a real beaut!
Also nice to hear that the trolley may be original to the hat. I was wondering about it because it’s a good bit lighter in color and because the wind string is one of them elastic jobs.
Guess I was under the false impression that the hat was older (early 50’s) than the point when Knox was using elastic string (late 50’s).
