I have a couple Bandera Hats and I like them enough to take a chance on this hat:

Thanks to a tip shipping Monday is this 1920's - 1930's Stetson which I believe to be a Tommy Grimes No.1 Quality based on the brim & crown measurements, & the wide brim binding. It also includes a period correct Navajo horsehair band with keeper rings for the tassels.

Tommy Grimes was the World Steer Roping Champion from 1914 -1921 & again in 1923. He was a frequent Bucking Horse Champion but never won the World Championship. These hats appeared in catalogs starting in the 1920's until at least 1936, two yrs after Grimes' death.
