Posting that about Olympic reminded me of this hat. Although I'd rather have one of the old No Name's. Still cool to know this one is part of the "family".

Very cool B. Tough luck about your Packers but on the other hand I'm OK with the result

1900 No Name billhead:

Awesome, now if I can just find a NN Vanity hat !

Found the store for Smith and Mattingly in Butte, Montana (from the bill previous posted).

"Various stores have occupied 117 N. Main Street, including a grocer, a hardware store, and men’s clothing stores. One of the first clothiers was Babcock’s; the name was superseded by his successors, Babcock’s managers Smith and Mattingly in 1900, and by Ignatius Mattingly alone from 1904 until 1925. The “Babcock’s” ghost sign here is pre-1900; the barely visible “Mattingly’s” over the garage door dates to the 1904-25 period. The overpass led to the second floor of the alley building, which early maps always label as storage."

Hey, look at that. Looks like Stetson shared his "The Fray" patent with his brother's and father's No Name company!

 

[Garrett]

They also let the Union in

 

[splintercellsz]

Absolutely beautiful, Garrett

 

[ManofKent]

Lovely Garrett.

Finally got one. This looks like post 1926, in light of the New York designation. Will update on receipt:

That's a real stunner John! I like that one!

 

[DesertDan]

That is an awesome hat John, congrats!

 

[John Galt]

Thanks guys. I just got lucky. It was a BIN at a somewhat shocking price. Hope it is in as decent shape as it looks. I will post my entire fedora collection sometime soon.
