ADAM ALLEY

Thanks! By the looks of the sweat, logo's, liner and price I'd say 1959-60. It's also another model to add to the list.

Anything to aid in the gathering and sharing of knowledge, o'keeper. Thanks for the dating on the hat as well, Billy. The hat can at least start developing a back story now.

Loved those Adam ads but the strangest thing in all of them is the selling of hats at Crown Loan Office.

HUH?

Was selling hats at stores other than men's wear and department stores very common back in the day?

Year? Model?

I got this one off the bay. No idea of the year or model. Inside just says "Adam Fifth Avenue Quality" Price tag is $24.95. Can anyone place it for me?

Billy -- FWIW...

I have three johnnyphi Adam lids. Two of them are labeled "Triport" and are priced at $7.50 (Executive Quality).

The other is an Adam Majestic, labeled "Buttony", priced at $6.00.

Cheers,
JtL

Can't quite see the crest properly, does it have a Single A or the A/H in diagonal?

If it's the A/H probably early-mid sixties.
Later otherwise.

Model - not sure but it does bear a striking resemblance to a couple of the models in the '62 ad above.

It looks like a nice colour, hope you enjoy it.

JtL - Thanks will add to the information.

It is very hard to make out as the more light that you put in there the more glare you get. I got out the big magnifier and can make out an A in one quartrangle and an H in the other of the shield. I am assuming that is a diagonal? If so, I can say this hat is as old as my little brother (1963)

Thanks!
