I had no idea that John Stetson could be as famous as Mickie Mantle.

Got my new 1940 Stetson Stratoliner ad in and framed today. Figured Id surround it with about 1/2 of my Stratoliners lol (hemp and felt)

@RickP , this is a jacket I had member Harp Player Gene do for me about 10 years ago.
Gene went thru a bad time and I have not heard from him in a long time. He is a great artist!

Picked up a Stetson Imperial Bantam magazine ad that I didnt have on the wall. Did some framing this morning and will get it up on the wall today.

Also found a couple more duplicates for a couple of my favorite WW2 images
