Those hat pins are great, but to wear on a fedora ribbon, you either need to bend the pin or cut it off shorter, as it's about 2" long. Clint Orms does excellent silver work, and is highly recommended, as well as being a genuinely nice guy. Frank.

I met Cint Orms and his wife while in Las Vegas during rodeo week, he had a booth at the convention center. I ordered 2 buckles from him at the time, well over 20 years ago. Real nice people, I also have a beautiful Mark Dahl buckle from about that same time that I was wearing and they both recognized it as Dahl's work. Since we're talking about silver pins, I have a hat that was made for me by Double HH hats in Montana some 15 or more years ago. He cut out my initials placed a dark piece of felt behind the cut and installed my initials in silver on the bow side of the hat, though it has has a self band and silver buckle set, the hat is natural in color.

Amazing, Looks like you got several brass rings.
i hope this isn't OT but reminds me of a modern tradition. You had to have lots of company stickers if you visited the mines.

A great collection Vic, & thanks for the link to this thread. I enjoyed reading thru it about your hats.

I met Dusty Rogers when he moved the museum from CA to Branson, MO & went to the auction a few yrs later when the museum was permanently closed.

Thanks for bringing this to light again, Jack. I missed it until now, and also really enjoyed the story, loved the hat.

Thanks @carouselvic too, of course! Fantastic posts!!

Thanks again to HJ for this bump. This post from 2017 belongs here. Vic probably remembers enlightening me that RV in this context had nothing to do with Winnebagos or Romeo Void.


Picked this hat up awhile back from a non-eBay site. Thanks to one of our historians, Carouselvic, I found out the following info on the hats previous owner. Interesting fellow.This is what the hat looked like when i got it.
