Probably 1960's Resistol Beaver Fifteen Kitten Finish. Madison model, color is Cameo. Has 2 1/4 inch Cavanagh edge, a very small edge, like the last Stetsons that had a Cavanagh or Mode Edge.

NOT my hat.
Resistol San Antonio from the last couple years of the Byer-Rolnick era.
I found this online and thought the date stamped 1965 might be useful for someone here in dating Resistols.

Resistol County Sheriff:
Here are three recent acquisitions of the 3X Beaver W220 HI-7 western hat in Cordova — a deep burgundy color. Brim is 4” and open crown is 7”. The felt is sturdy and shapable (with steam) as I’ve attempted to show with a different style for each hat.

Nice Resistol Topeka 3X at auction. Only a 6-3/4LO but the Topeka doesn’t come up often.

Resistol Wide Country, not uncommon but doesn’t appear here often. This one has the melerol sweat, in a Shudde Bros shipping box dated 1968.

Heads up on a beautiful size 7 'early 60s NIB Plains I passed on, when I asked for the brim size the seller replied 3", along with a purchase price offer of $75.00. If the shipping wasn't so high to Europe I probably would have picked this one up in spite of the brim being a bit smaller than I would like.

1940s (?) Resistol San Antonio . Size 7-1/8. 2-5/8” bound brim, 5” open crown with thin ribbon. Had a bad verdigris stain that looks — better.
Love it! What did you do for the verdigris?

Phil — I used Fruno’s tip about diluted white vinegar. I did several passes and then, after it appeared it would not be fully removed, I gave it a naphtha bath. It’s certainly better than it was!
^^^^^ Not my finger.

Wow! That's a night and day difference. I've passed on a couple of good hats lately because of verdigris. Now I know. Thank you!

Looking at the crown you can tell just how fantastic the felt is.
