Good bump Bill.
But dont you think that those hats will need a good brush?

Yeah, it was all I could do not to mess with those hats. But they wanted them "as donated".

Historical Society hat collection

I really enjoyed this thread. I thought the Stetson, Dunlop part real interesting. I have an old Dunlop that I need dated. When I bought it it was really in bad shape. It has a fair amount of moth damage but nothing I cant live with. I cleaned it up a bit but it really needs to be professionally done. Do you recommend anyone who could help me with dating this hat. I know it goes back to at least the 40s.
