I feel attacked…. Should I feel attacked?!?!? LOL. Love a ya Al.
No attack intended, just a bit of hopefully harmless fun.

I know Al. Same here. I’ll just sit over here with my child sized hats. LOLNo attack intended, just a bit of hopefully harmless fun.
Very nice, it appears to be the twin of my GP. Same hat store even.1950's Dobbs Gay Prince, dark blue. Has 2 3/4 inch brim and 5 3/4 inch open crown. This was a $20 hat when new. The sweatband doesn't say "Dobbs Twenty", but the type of liner in this hat was only put in hats costing $20 or more.
That’s crazy!Very nice, it appears to be the twin of my GP. Same hat store even.

What a great color for a GP. I didn’t know this detail about that liner style. I have two GP’s with that liner. One a 1940s the other a 1950s. Interesting if all GPs wear sold as twenty dollar hats.1950's Dobbs Gay Prince, dark blue. Has 2 3/4 inch brim and 5 3/4 inch open crown. This was a $20 hat when new.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I seem to think that some a bit earlier were $15 hats. I can't swear to it.What a great color for a GP. I didn’t know this detail about that liner style.

Would make sense for the price to be lower on earlier ones.I'm not absolutely sure, but I seem to think that some a bit earlier were $15 hats. I can't swear to it.
I did see several years back in this thread Alan has an unlined Gamebird felted GP from 1946 with a $12.50 price. That might make sense though as unlined lighter weight felts were usually cheaper.I'm not absolutely sure, but I seem to think that some a bit earlier were $15 hats. I can't swear to it.
Well, I said this liner was for hats of $20 and up. Maybe I should have said it was for higher priced hats. I can't swear it wasn't ever used early on for $15 hats. But in my mind I always associate it with $20 and higher, since that's what you usually see.Would make sense for the price to be lower on earlier ones.
But also surprising for both my mid to late 40s and mid 50s GP both being a twenty dollar hat. Maybe it was a period of somewhat price stability before the price and quality ratio started to go off the rails in the later 50s and through the 60s.
Gotcha.. I understand. I believe it’s the same liner they used on the 100 @drmaxtejeda posted some time back. Makes sense it would be the one they used in the higher tiered hats.Well, I said this liner was for hats of $20 and up. Maybe I should have said it was for higher priced hats.
