It really is amazingly nice. It was put 8n a time capsule. Thin, dense, light, obedient, smooth felt. Very happy with it.

I think the inside might be prettier than the outside.

A couple of things about this derby. First, I got it at a substaintial discount from the asking price. Second, a huge thanks to one of my dear Lounge friends for helping coordinate the purchase. This hat made a rather lengthy trip around the U.S. to get here, but it got here in great shape. This stiff felt premier Knox "The Fifth Avenue" is typical of bowlers; black, 4 1/2 crown, 1 inch ribbon, and a small pleat on the liner. This one is dated 1930, so I'm glad about that. It has a few spots on the liner and has been worn, but the sweat is still soft and easily wearable and that's what i plan to do for years to come. Thanks for looking.

"South Texan", an OR clone sold by Lichtenstein & Sons, Corpus Christi, TX. Probably a Resistol. More pics to come tomorrow.

I found the original owner's name & address tagged behind the sweat. He is still alive at age 90 & a lawyer. I'll include more when I post documentation on the hat.

Hagwood said:

Very cool ! I love it when you can find provenance on a vintage item. It would be great if you could get some pics of him wearing it back in the day.

At age 90 I won't be making any contact with him. He deserves respect.

Someone is selling his stuff for a reason.

Plus, he’s a lawyer, HJ. Might sue to get it back.

Personal privacy is hard to maintain in this day & age. I would never contact someone out of the blue over something like a hat. Now if I owned the 1955 Mercedes Gullwing coupe they once owned...different story.
