Dave, these are great! Are they from international papers or US?

Great selection going back to 1935.
I haven’t delved through this thread from start to finish, but I don’t recall seeing an older Akubra than the 1960s (according to an estimate from the people at Akubra) Stylemaster I wore the other day. I look forward to someone showing something older.

An interesting question that got brought up on Facebook. Why arnt there many vintage Akubras on the market. I don’t think I have come across one older then the 80’s and virtually no fedoras

I come across them occasionally. They have all been too small for me unfortunately.

I think we'd need to know their international prevalence at the time. Perhaps if you were to go through thrift stores in Oz you could find more. However, I can't think of a Member who lives in Australia - do we have any?

We certainly have at least a couple, but I don’t recall seeing them recently. I remember one of them did some wood turning and made his own beautiful hat stand.

There has been a couple of Open Roads & I had a BOP that was small.
