Incredible Fedora - 1951 Yankees

[WillowGrove]

Great pick up Scott and I really enjoyed the reactions and monarch note version of recent hat history.

Good stuff right here.

Love the hat!

One thing confuses me...was this hat $50 in 1951 or is that what you paid?

If the latter that is one terrific buy!

Haha....no, but I wish I paid $50. Dobbs, Knox and Stetson each had hats named after their prices (Fifty, Twenty and Fifteen for Knox and Dobbs). Stetson later made a '100' (that cost $100) which was used almost exclusively as a presentation hat - it was the exact style LBJ and Eisenhower wore. This one is odd in that it does not have a bound brim, but instead has the more expensive 'Cavanagh Edge', even stranger on a dress western like this.
