That was the same thing that happened to me. We see what we want to see. At some point I noticed Dobbs edge in the familiar Guild Edge logo. The Fifteen/Twenty difference would make a lot of sense. I mean… a wind trolley alone would hardly be worth the additional 5 bucks. I do however have a 1950s 15 with a true guild/Cavanagh edge. But it has … I think 2 1/4 brim. Maybe as 50s went on cost cutting measure was more in limiting production processes. So Dobbs edge got the ax. then both the 15 and 20 featured a Guild edge. The Fifteen with a 2 1/4 brim and the Twenty a 2 1/2 and wind trolley.Interesting. I took the photos, since I was expecting to see Guild Edge that’s what I “saw.” I know there were several ways to approximate a Cavanagh edge. Maybe this method is one of the things the separates the Fifteen from the Twenty?
Now I’m really speculating!
