New Royal Stetson

[Pensacola Native]

Here's a Royal Stetson I found a few days ago in good shape. It's not my size but I thought I might could save it from the dumpster. What do you think, late 50's or early 60's? It sold for $11.95 when it was new and the quality inspection paper in the box states that it was inspected by Mr. Leroy Farley.

I know Leroy Farley, Jr. but don't think his father ever was a hat inspector....

If it is 7 5/8 or 7 1/2 and you want to sell it, you might have a buyer

Pensacola Hardware is a great store. Not many hometown hardware stores around anymore.
