First off, new to the forum but not new to cool fedoras. Picked up this awesome fedora in a shop in New Hope PA. Did a lot of reading online but having a tough time narrowing down the year it was made (approx). Nothing seems to match what I’ve read online. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
Hey JTG:
Would love to help but your pics won’t load. I see you just joined yesterday. I think you have to have 10 total posts, comments, etc in any threads before you can post picks. So, hit some threads say wow and nice, etc and come back and post your picks. We can help then.
Welcome to the lounge, sell everything so you have room for hats!! Ha
Be well. Bowen

I think it was a permissions issue. I uploaded the media from my phone and never saw the ability to mark as members only or public. Did this change work?

I see your four photos; very nice Knox.
I am still a vintage hat novice; so I can't help much with dating it.

That's an interesting hat. I believe it was 1934 when Knox and Cavanagh joined forces and formed Hat Corporation of America. That Cavanagh manufacturing tag is a 1930s era label. Would love to see more photos of it on the School of Hard Knox thread.
