I bought this one a bit ago just so I could check out the felt on one of these. It's nice. This one is in pretty good shape with a stain on the ribbon (see pic) and a few light stains on the felt. The felt is soft and shapeable. The size on the tag is 6 3/4 - I measure the circumference at 21 1/4 inches. $60 plus shipping.
I threw in a couple of different dry bashes.

The brim is 2 3/4 inches. Either I didn't realize Peters Bros used resistol felts or maybe this one was redone by Peters Bros.

In comparing my Stetson 7X CB to my Stetson 100, I always considered the felt bodies very similar & both are undyed beaver fur felt.
Seeing how Peter Bros takes a Resistol 7X body to make their Shady Oak Banker 100, it makes a lot of sense to me.
The 7X CB or "50" would be taken by a master hatter & then hand finished with nicer sweat, liner, ribbon & pouncing to make a "100".
Glad I happen to look at your posting Mike. Good luck on the Bay!
