No Name Hat Manufacturing Co.

New member. First post. This thread is kind of old but thought I'd see if there's more interest in the No Name Hat Company. I own two very nice examples. In fact both are new-old-stock. They're probably 1890s time period. Here's one of them. I need to take interior photos of course. I'll post if anyone is interested.

Just a bit of history on the hats. Issac Greentree of Cheyenne Wyoming closed his Clothing Store in March of 1900. My pair of hats came from his leftover stock. So I'm putting a probable date of manufacture sometime in late 1899. Possibly before.

I've had the pair ( and a couple other un-marked maker hats) for 10 years or more. Beautiful early hats.

The 1890s group I bought. They'd been in storage since 1900. Remarkably good condition. All new-old.
