1886-1909 Stetson Billheads

Logo Changes

The most interesting point about these, other than the comments about beaver and otter fur in the first one, is the change from 'John B. Stetson & Co.' in 1886 to 'John B. Stetson Co.' by 1898, as shown in the two logo close-ups representing those years. By the 1920's, they were back to being referred to as 'John B. Stetson & Co.' Not sure what was up with that.

My pleasure. And in the second logo, they added teeth to the beaver, a tongue to the bird, and another star to the cap.
