Did it include the Panama? If its that fancy so might be the hat.
Looks like a Stylemaster.

Hey, Cracker, that Borso's gotta be pre WWll or there abouts. Maybe you can get more specifics from the Borso Brotherhood.

I am no expert but judging by the ribbon width the hat has the look of the 30s or 40s to me. However, there is nothing to stop it from being a 50s hat either. On the inside, the printing and letters look rather modern. I remember the companies Rothschild and Young Quinlan from my childhood in the 1960s. So though my first instinct is to call it a relic of the 30s, my zeal to consider something as "old" often outruns reality, and I say it would be as late as 1955. Wild guesses all. By the way that's a nice OR on your icon.
The paper label doesn't have the Borsalino script. I would say 1950s but someone else might be able to place it better.

The unreeded sweat made me think older.

The Borsalino "Pesca" (it's the finish - kinda like a peach fuzz), was $30 from about 1952 to 1967.
Premier Strato; looks early. No liner. Anyone get it?
