Show us their hats!

Getting this thread a little back on track with famous people in hats.

Hmmm......have I been posting in the wrong thread? I apologize.....I thought this was for period hat picts (though I have posted famous people too). Do we have a thread for family and personal photo collections I should be posting in.

Edit: Should I be starting one?

I know there's one for family. I think Bob Hufford started it, but I can't remember the title. Always thought non-Shorpy was for general stuff.

I don't think anybody is going to throw you out of the FL for mixing and matching.

Thanks Jim!,

Maybe the non-shorpy but I see a lot of internet archive and online stuff there.

I will try to look up Bob's for family.

Maybe I can start one for personal collections. I have a lot of interesting hat images, only scratch the surface here. One of my true passions is collecting Tableau Tintypes/CDV's and Cabinet Cards (those showing a sort of action scene), especially with drinking and gambling motifs. Like these:

And often they will have their hats on too!


Anyway thanks!

I’ve posted a lot on these two threads. Obviously there is some overlap but I’ve always thought this thread is for vintage hat pics where the subject is identified, the non Shorpy thread for vintage hat pics where the subject is not identified & the pic is not part of the Shorpy collection. Family thread for vintage family & selfies. Up to the bartenders to keep it sorted out.

Makes sense to me.

Ted Turner (1938 - 2026)

After buying the screen rights to the Michael Shaara historical novels Civil War trilogy, & bringing Gettysburg (The Killer Angels) & Gods And Generals to the screen, Turner said in an interview that The Last Full Measure would probably never be made. I wish now he had dug a little deeper & got it done. RIP.

Couldn't get into the site all yesterday, so a day late.

James Doohan, who was on Juno Beach on D-Day.

Yes, he was. Sadly, he lost the middle finger of his right hand after the invasion. He was walking back to his camp later that night and was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren g*u*n by a nervous Canadian sentry--four in his leg, one in his chest, and the one that removed his right middle finger. The b*u*l*l*e*t to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother. The remains of his finger were surgically amputated, and he did his best to conceal it's loss throughout his career.

Joseph O. Diemer (1828 - 1912). Came to Springfield, Missouri from Columbus, Ohio in 1876. His son Ben started Greenlawn Cemetery north of Springfield in 1905. My wife’s family has many kin buried there.

Nice hat!

I believe this could be identified as Harry Darby, WWI Vet, Vice President of the American Royal & founding member (1941) of the Saddle & Sirloin Club, US Senator from Kansas (1949 - 1950) wearing a Stetson or Knox American Royal Arminto made for the Saddle & Sirloin Club. Shown with all his membership & participation pins. Pictures taken at the American Royal Livestock Show (yr unknown). Others are unidentified.

Nice find, HJ.

Nice find, HJ.

Thanks BB. Darby came home from WWI & founded a steel fabrication company, securing a military contract to build tanks for the US Army leading up to WWII. As that contract wound down he was successful in landing a contract to manufacture boxcars & gondolas for the RR, & contracts with Continental Grain, & Archer Daniel’s Midland to manufacture new grain cars & rebuild their wrecks. His company survived him up into the 1990’s.
