Nice find and a great looking hat, Brent. It has the presence that's just right for a homburg.

Dalton #10 is just perfect. A fairly heavy weight felt on this one, definitely winter weight. No flaws at all; it was apparently lightly worn.

Dalton Premier Quality. Basic gray with black ribbon and raw edge brim. I usually view the presence of a wind trolley as an upper level accoutrement, so I'm assuming a higher quality level. Given it's a ten dollar hat, I think tat would put this sometime in the 40s. Of course, I'm never sure about these Daltons as there seems to be few clues to the age of their hats.

Could find very little on Schreiber's in Scranton. Only a newspaper article that was blocked for me that I think said the former building at 415 Spruce Street succumbed to fire in 2020.

Specs:

5 1/2" x 2 5/8" RE.
2" Sweatband

I still haven't brushed/steamed it, so all creases are quick and dry. On with the pix.

Obligatory headshot. I was lucky this 7 1/8 is generous enough for a comfy fit.

Beautiful find!
Does 10 make a DecaDalton?
