Another variation on the Dobbs Cross country model, this time with a self felt ribbon. Still lightweight and unlined, with a raw edged brim.
Sold by Frederick W. Donnelly and son of Trenton, NJ

Dobbs Cross Country
A Dobbs Cross Country sold by Brondstaters of Herkimer, NY. Incredibly lightweight felt. Raw edge, unlined.

No real makers mark on this “hand finished” hat, so its origins are a bit of a mystery. It’s an old one though, probably ’40s. Great color combination of the dark felt and lighter binding and ribbon.
