Ok....so now I will have two of these boxes........
one from a friend with his fathers OR in it and one from the 'Bay" and it is on its way to me as I write this (has a mode edge "Royal Stetson" in it).........
QUESTION, when were they introduced and how long were they used before the switch to these boxes..
I seem to be seeing a LOT of these (cheaply made) black and white boxes lately and almost always with a small "stingy brim" hat from the sixties or seventies....... the tan and red boxes are definitely better made and look a lot like the earlier oval boxes of very similar color and design.
I did not find others listed in this thread...........so am curious as to the dating of both of these Stetson boxes.
Thanks,
M
