    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    Would ebay be the best place to do that? I'm ready to let go of this. I think it has been a lucky thing that it hasn't been stained, crushed or damaged. Want to get it into hands of people who will let it live a little.

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    I had a closer look today and found the tag. It was really tucked up there. Definitely 7 1/2. Does the info and format of this label also give a clue as the period it was made?

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    I've recently rediscovered this RoyalDeLuxe Stetson, size 7 1/2, I bought for $1 at a garage sale in 1983. I knew the original owner, Harry, but I don't think he ever wore it judging by the condition of the hat. I never saw him wear it. It was just an item at the sale when his widow left their...
