Here is a forum referring to the Stetson 100, here is an excerpt and the site:
Is the hat worth 300.00 > Maybe . This hat sold for 100.00 back in the 1950's and 1960's .That was one weeks salary for many people . I have one and it's a great hat . I don't think a Stetson 1000X from today could match a 100X from years ago.
