This vintage hat was made in the 1930s by the John B. Stetson company. It bears their “No. 1 Quality” designation. The dressweight felt has an unusual rose color. The liner is a complementary pink, with a highly detailed stamp. It was originally sold in Vinita, OK by “The Army Store”.

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.
