Western, anyone?

Nice one, Jack. I hope the hat is not going into the guitar case for storage.

Thanks Randy. You’re the one with all the pretty guitars. The Rand goes in its original box for the summer with plenty of red cedar chips for varmint control. Occasionally I have gotten it out in the summer after dark to wear to a fav cattleman’s steakhouse.

4X Serratelli. Picked up a few years ago. Every time I went to the store, I found myself drawn to it. I plan to buy a better quality hat and have it shaped like it.

It's been a long time since I last posted here. Here's a gambler type hat I made years back and it's reminiscent to the ones you would have seen on HBO's Deadwood or BBC's Ripper Street.

This hat used to have a telescopic crown but has been changed to a sort of Hoppy/Gus Crease, I had a hint of Lonesome Dove, Broken Trail and Open Range going on in my mind.

And at last, a black Bolero hat reminiscent of Lee Van Cleef from the Dollars trilogy.

You left out a famous western actor that's a dead ringer!

ANDY DEVINE (1905 - 1977) is known for his distinctive raspy, crackly voice and roles in Western films, including his role as Cookie, the sidekick of Roy Rogers in 10 feature films. He also appeared alongside John Wayne in films such as Stagecoach (1939), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and How the West Was Won (both 1962). He is also remembered as Jingles on the TV series The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok from 1951 to 1958.

Ah, yes - thanks for pointing that out! I first heard his voice as Friar Tuck in Disney's Robin Hood. Years later, I learned more of his career same as other veteran Western actors.

Ive got some cowboy/ cowgirl/ Pony pics of my Dad and his sister from the early 30's in Kansas City, Mo, and the mid 30s in Compton Calif. Dad said it was the same photographer that knew my Grandfather. This fellow traveled the country from town to town with a pony, a trailer with a mobile darkroom and a supply of Lil cowboy duds. He Developed/ Printed the pictures in the trailer while he was there and let the customers pick out the frames to mount them in. Id say it was an interesting job set.. prob a good life for the pony too considering the time.. although I suspect he was bored... every pic of the pony has its eyes closed. Dad always swore it was a real live pony, but Ive suspected it might have been a stuffed ex-pony lol
