Unfortunately it’s not visible.
Dang! Anyway the year is discernable? I'm interested to find out how long Herbert Johnson were still using their "By Appointment to the late King" advertising.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I imagine that many who follow this thread may be able to help. I'm looking for antique hatter's tools used to make and repair antique toppers. The shape and quality of the old ones is just so much better than anything new. I'm looking for photos of tools anyone might have which were used to make these hats, and I am open to procuring any topper tools you'd be willing to pass along.

The right opportunity was that and others.
When a gentleman like you shows his elegance, the topper is the best.
Does she wear it better? Probably yes, but it's just a matter of taste

A very classy couple, indeed.
Wonderful photo.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see more photos of that Topper in and out. It looks a tall one.

Thank you. I don’t know the dimensions of the hat but its height may be a bit of an illusion given that I’m approximately the size of a Smurf.
A photo of the liner and sweatband will satisfy my curiosity

Funnily enough I discovered that we discussed this a few years ago when I got the hat! See post 1148 in this thread!A photo of the liner and sweatband will satisfy my curiosity
Thanks for the reminder

Finding top hats in a large size has been a challenge. This somewhat generic one — most likely an equestrian hat —popped up on an online shop and I had a coupon code so I only had to pay the $14.00 shipping!
I had to accessorize it of course.
