Probably not very helpful, but I did a newspaper search, and found the text: "Chappell Clothing in Nebraska, with FA Schroeder Proprieter", with ads starting in 1926, ending in 1963.

Thanks! Yeah I tried to look into the store a bit the other day but didn’t get too far, I couldn’t figure out the address to get a shot of the building.

Got my first hat from Agnoulita - a modified bowler, wider brim, slightly shorter crown.

The brim came completely flat - a quick steam with the Jiffy and it was a piece of cake to get it the way you see below.

Overall, very nicely made hat, I'm very happy with how this came out.

Hat is silver rabbit, with a charcoal ("Iron") ribbon.

Here are the specs:

The ASCOT
• 22 3/4 in - 57.8 cm
• Head Shape: Regular Oval
• Felt Weight: Dress Weight
• Rabbit Fur Felt Color: Silver
• Overall Stiffness: Extra-Stiff
• Brim Stiffness: Hard
• Crown Height: 4 3/4”
• Brim Width (After Roll): 2 1/2"
• Pencil Curl: 3/4"
• Ribbon hatband width: 1 1/4"
• Ribbon hatband color: Contrasting
• Ribbon Hat Band Color: Iron
• Brim-edge Ribbon Binding: Contrasting
• Brim-edge ribbon binding color: Iron
• Sweatband Color (Inside): Burgundy
• Lining Color (Inside): Teal

Good looking derby.
 
Looks really clean.

Certainly a lot cleaner than the two hats I won for 50-cents ... well 60-cents with the buyers premium. I'm sure the auction house will make it up on shipping.

Oh ... and they are 7-1/8 too, of course.

^^^^^ Scat-o-liner?

I think they will need to stay in quarantine for at least 14 days.
