Sometimes a 50's Cavanagh "A Posse Ad Esse" box (Latin: "From possibility to actuality"), has a wonderful additional meaning of the possible, especially when it contains 1930's Stetson.:) And it is a nice, super clean example, which importantly for me, is in my size. ;) Wonderful rolled edge...

Why not? Before it was a "Cattleman/Rancher" crease it was the crease of choice for bankers/businessmen and presidents.

Weekend Find. Included the hat pin. Size 6 3/4. Ear flap type heavy wool measuring 11" across the one piece crown both ways (interestingly shaped like an 8 panel, which it is not). Not sure of date. Perhaps someone here will know more. the lining: The Hat Pin: " Oh Boy - Wesley Barry Caps -...

Mid 50's.....(Lower Right).

Saturday: Monday at the Herbert Hoover National Park (West Branch, Iowa) for a Memorial Day Band Concert: Note this man in my front has a nice straw in his lap.......:) Nice concert, beautiful day!

Just never sit too close to the campfire while wearing it!;) I wonder if they were lacquering hats?

Today is: Have a pleasant weekend and be sure to remember our fallen heroes.....

Anymore...YES, I can. I had a package go back and forth between different Illinois locations and the St Louis Distribution (THREE TIMES) for close to two weeks a very short time ago......:rolleyes:

Looks quite similar to these: Could also be the later model (not the 30's-40's) Stetson Laloo. Really there are so many. Look over the Stockman Farmer/Miller Stockman catalogs posted around here for ideas.

Flea market find, needs some TLC but DOES work. A circa 1930 Dominion Automatic Toaster. Tick, Tock timer opens doors on side to drop out the toast (has a ramp inside)! Constant heat.

Circa 1945 Sunbeam C30AB with war restriction glass upper pot (saved on copper and chrome). Been wanting one of these for a while.

I could not pass this flea market find up ($25). Works (as many seem to) and has its correct basket and innards. A circa 1920? Thermax (Landers, Frary & Clark) E9124.

Taking a lead from some of Sefan's awesome posts, a week or so of hats, wore my first straw today (mostly raining on and of the last week). No particular order other than noted: Today, Stetson 6X with vintage pug. My roughed around "Cow Lot, Beaver 50". Last Sunday on a historic site and flea...

Pikers all (actually I LOVE potato cannons);)......Imagine if you will having access to these and all we could load them with...which we did (under scientifically produced "experiments" ONLY;)). We found out a LOT about such things as basic elements & metals and how they burn different colors...
