This Pullman Passenger car has sat on tracks next to the original depot for yrs. Built in Willoughby, Ohio in the early 1920’s. It’s being restored & converted into a members only bar off the depot. On this dreary day I tried to be artsy & make my pic look like something from McCabe And Mrs Miller. The color is actually a dark army green with gold lettering. The satellite dish gives it away.

Same Kevin O’Farrell Rancher as up page. My pics would have come out better if I had cleaned my windshield.

My newest, thanks to Bill @wsmontana. A silverbelly Resistol Big Bend, in absolutely immaculate condition. My (our) estimation, based on listed price, size tag, etc., is late 50s or early 60s. Showed it to my wife as soon as I unboxed it, and she liked it so much she insisted I change from what I'd been wearing, and don this one for the rest of the day's outing. I was QUITE happy to oblige!

Looks fantastic on you Mark! Always happy to pair a great hat with an appreciative fellow lounger!

It's been a good week for me!

Another score from Resistol’s Stagecoach Collection, this one snagged from a gentleman one town over,
who inherited it from his dad. Sadly for them, luckily for me, it hadn’t fit dad since high school, and never fit the son.

It is amazingly pristine, and the tag fragment leads me to be pretty certain this is a Midnight Man, an SC model I knew existed, but had never seen. I actually like the hatband, which is unusual for me and those macrame bands. I love the shape; we’ll see how long it stays like this before I start to twitch from the macrame. :D

Now that is straight-ahead western! Nice one, Mark.

I love shooting me some skeets! :cool:

Great hat you have there
Thanks! Stetson made an Arminto model of the American Royal hat & members of Saddle & Sirloin Club wore them also. Most (if not all) of the Stetson’s were sold from Emery, Bird, Thayer & Co in Kansas City. My Knox was sold thru Wolf Bros, who was an early member of S&S. I have never seen another Knox except maybe in the pic below. Members of Saddle & Sirloin Club attended a rodeo in New Mexico in the 1950’s. The member in the lower left corner with the green shirt looks like his hat could be a Knox.
