Thank you Brent, I think your hat work looks every bit as good as mine, if not better!
Resistol 3X. This was an early attempt at a Desert Dog brim curl that was only partially successful.

That is unbelievable! I have never seen one like it. Major score!
Thanks Ed! Just heard that this one is on its way as well.

It was originally from here (probably the Greenfield store), but has been living in Saginaw, Michigan for years.

That's a nice haul, Bob! Especially the Thoroughbred. That's one fine hat and I can already tell it's going to suit you well.

Thanks Ed! This the second all-beaver "Beaver Brand" that I've had (although it's the first one that should fit). Jack picked up this one for me a couple of years ago.

Thanks Dale! I'm pretty stoked.

That’s the nicest Thoroughbred I’ve ever seen! Simply perfect.

VERY nice! It's neat that you know the history of it, too.

Thanks Regan! I'm waiting to hear back from the Dade Country Historical Society to know when the Greenfield store closed. The Springfield store closed in 1985.

Wish this photo had been taken in the men's hat department. 1951:

It's about to fall in on itself today:

Interesting that it is marked 20X as is the Lion Brand, but also marked 100% beaver. I don't remember the Lion having that designation. I guess in my mind I'm confusing 20X with it being a "100". Great hat & I'll look forward to your comparison of the two. If it's too large, you know where to come.

Good memory Jack! The only mark on the sweat is the logo. The liner does tout the percentage.

The sun through the screen makes an interesting pattern. Looks like @mmbarnes was messin’ with it. ;)
