Haha.

It's all character building in the end, right?

the hats

I fussed with trying to get pics posted, but here's a link to the pics on my blog page -

Also shown is the one grandpa Oscar wore often. A Royal De Luxe purchased from Mattei Bros in Petaluma, CA

The Stratoliner was actually purchased in El Paso on San Antonio St.

I think I will look for some pics of Oscar wearing the De Luxe.

You did a good job on it. It looks like yours is a '50s model. I've had a stetson with that kind of sweat and with the model and stetson markings done in black, like yours, that was dated 1954.

I guess the inevitable question is "What is it worth?"

I would be surprised if it did not crowd $200. May be more on a good day.

That is a fantastic hat, and even better that it has sentimental value. The hat itself is likely worth $200+ but to you it is priceless!

I think the hand bash you gave it looks great.

Denny, that's a fine job of creasing. Keep the moths away, now!

I think you did a wonderful job on the crease and it looks super on you!!!

Hope you really enjoy it!!!!
