Dating Borsalinos

[bond]

Looking for anyone with a collection of vintage Borsalino fedoras that range from the 1920s through to the 1950s. I would like to see if there is a way of corroborating particular hats to a particular decade.
I am hoping to date some vintage hats that I own but seem to be a topic of speculation as to their correct vintage.
Please post your pics and any particulars to each hat that will help clarify the quest for this borsalino authenticity test of sorts.
Thank you
Bond

Bond, you'll find some good info on dating of Borsalino's here and here

Probably a bunch of other threads on the subject if you look around a bit as well.

I once dated Angie Borsalino and I eventually had to swear out a restraining order......

I have looked at both of those threads and still have not found a manufacture's sticker that is like the one in my Borsalino.

Actually the best info is on the Borsalino Brotherhood thread but it's not organized.

Did you post photos at the above thread? If not please post photos including ones of the paper label?
