What vintage is this Stetson?
I'm thinking 1970's early Hatco era. Notice that there is no branding on the sweatband.

I missed out on this one at auction (hope someone here got it), but was wondering about the possible date range based on this liner and sweatband logo. The logo style and the “~” in the “E” of Stetson seem to place it in the mid-‘40s to early-‘50s. Would this lean towards the earlier estimate as the logo and name are not paired with “Royal” or “Imperial”, etc. or does this just indicate a lower tier hat?
