Thanks, guys. It's almost in new condition, but there is some evidence that Muncrief wore it from time to time. A $20 hat from this period was phenomenal and the felt was of a quality unavailable today. $50 hats were mostly for presentations or wealthy people. The $100 hat came along a bit later and was more inflation than anything else. There's your hat history synopsis - I promise not to do that again

I also had a Phil Rizzuto fedora ($20 hat), but moronically sold it One more and I would have had a Yankee fedora collection. I have tried to win hats belonging to Jack Dempsey, Tom Landry and a few other sports celebrities, but only had luck with the Yanks.
