Eh, I have a couple of the ones they sold in the coffin boxes. Some steam and a stretcher to help pop the crown back out and they're good as new. Maybe not the same for this one, but I'd bet it's gonna be just fine

Count this as a victory, from 2 separate Goodwill auctions (the same location). Clearly in the late 1950's someone walked around to a couple of hat stores in Terre Haute, IN and said, "help me build the ultimate Stingymas starter kit. I want one in every color."
Folks, that kit cost me about $40 a couple of weeks ago. Lee and Stetson.

A good looking Champ for a reasonable price. I talked to the seller and got them to check behind the sweatband and it is a 7 1/4

I agree. That is a lovely one for someone looking.
