Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

[Joao Encarnado]

I would love to wear this one, but unfortunately its a small 6 7/8 and way too tight for my head.

Pinheads are so lucky.

It's always a treasure to find stuff tucked behind the sweatband. Even if no dates, there are clues...


Sec. 562 P.L.&R.
From October 1, 1932 (until it was superseded in 1949) anything sent third class bulk rate had to have the phrase Sec. 562 P.L.&R. printed on the envelope, indicating the article was in compliance with Section 562 of the Postal Laws and Regulations (which has to make riveting bath time reading…surely…)

c.1910s/20s (?) Stetson no.1 in Boss of the Plains style

Hat came with some extras behind the sweatband bearing the original owners phone number and address. i was able to find Mr. Klump in a 1923 registry for the University of California.

That is WILD. I know that building well, my high school is a block away.

Great hat too, love that style.
