That hat is amazing !!!

Do you have recollection of it?

I’d love to know what color it was

Looks like a special one... an “Adventure “ if the box is any indication

Yes, I recall that day. I can't quite pin down the yr or my grandpa's age but it was his birthday (March) & my aunts & uncles gave him the hat as a present. It was a medium gray in color. Probably 1954-1955 or so. I have 2 aunts still living that might remember but I haven't seen either of them since I discovered this pic. I even watch for a Lee box like that one.

He wore either a 6-7/8 or 7, so I could never wear it.

Moon, in thinking about what yr further I think it was probably 1958. We were a large extended family & were together a lot. We all lived within a few miles of each other. Birthday presents were not a common thing but my grandpa would have turned 60 yrs Old in 1958. That may have been the reason for such a special gift.

Thanks for the info on it possibly being an Adventure. I'll look into that. Maybe have to get the specs & have a custom made.
