Emersonian Quality... Very cute.

1920s or older Emerson Special.

The felt is a brownish green with silver felt fibers. The reed is yarn, which is new to me.

Glad it finally arrived

Me too

Very nice and interesting lid Justin! I like those silver fibers

Super Justin, the first one I have ever seen, lovely Burg!

New Emerson

It's in great shape originally purchased at the Grand Haberdashery in Fargo, ND - no reed - post 1934 union tag - guessing mid to late 1930s - shower proofed by Dryette? How do you shower proof a hat? Also, interesting edge treatment - photo of bottom of edge - newspaper ad from 1936 in local Fargo college paper.

Great find, Justin. Love the look of the liner. Pity about the loose sweat.

Incredible Emerson Robert. Love that color and brim stitching.

Thanks, Jim. This one has a 2 5/8 inch brim and fairly high crown....4 1/2 inches at the front pinch. Looks more like a hat from the '30's to me. I think it's most likely early '50's tho.
