This ol' Derby

I've owned a wonderful gents old derby hat for several years. It came from a local estate and is nothing extraordinarily special. Everyone has seen "grandpa's derby", right? But since it's Halloween costume time and I am gleaning my collection, I decided to prep it for online selling. As I was going over the details and specs, I could just sense there was more behind the hat. Because it was a local region hatter, I researched him a bit.

A dear former B&M store customer got me hooked on making a Treasury in Etsy! When I first joined the site, I didn't get what all the hub bub was about. But now, after only 2 creations, I do get it!
