Surmising from the "thirty seven years of manufacturing experience" described in the first pages, this catalog is from 1902. Inferring from the...
it would be a maker's mark of some sort. These are sometimes done as embossments (or debossments) done with a metal die, and later with just a...
Yeah, that's the rub. I didn't mind the ad at the top of the page. I can even deal with the floating ads at the bottom. But ads in the middle of...
Short answer: no. Nobody has any insight into the situation on COW either. Some are speculating it is related to the upcoming Indiana Jones...
Now that you mention it, it sparked a memory of a post from Michaelson, the head honcho of COW:
First straw hat day of the year for me, Stetson OR natural Panama, Meyer the Hatter special. [img] [img]
[MEDIA] This local TV segment from last month ended up in my YouTube suggestions. A nice little bit on Shudde Bros hats.

Ok, ok, I'll watch the movie! I tend to think the derivative of the BOP is the campaign hat. My 1920's No. 1 quality came with a shallow campaign...
I misunderstood Michelle when we were communicating and I thought dark sable was only available in rabbit. Turns out they also have it in beaver...
