About This John B. Stetson Campaign Style Real Quality Nutria:

This hat is in the style named "Out West" because of the Montana crease in the crown - this in later catalogs that feature Nutria Quality Stetson hats for civilian wear.  The main difference being that this hat has 6 holes made into the crown.  The top 4 are for ventilation and the two at the brim on either side of the crown are for a wind strap.  This makes the hat a Stetson Campaign Hat from ca. 1900.  It is quite an iconic hat, becoming the main identifying feature of "Smokey The Bear" (because it was also the uniform headgear of the United States Park Rangers) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

This hat is in very good condition with minor pitting in the beaver and no fraying of the ribbon hatband.  It was issued without an interior liner.   The interior band is adorned with the gold Stetson mark as follows: a circle within which is an eagle accompanied by a beaver and a mythical bird.  At each side of the circle is written "London / New York / Paris".  Beneath this image are the words "STETSON / JOHN B. STETSON / PHILADELPHIA".  Above the circle is written "NUTRIA QUALITY".

*Photograph is of Maj. Burnham wearing a Stetson Campaign Hat in 1902.

Size: Measures 8inches front to back, interior opening.
