Description: Forgotten men of history, John B. Stetson, Die Proof on india on card ABNCo. Measures overall approx 4" x 4.5". John Batterson Stetson (May 5, 1830 – February 18, 1906) was an American hat maker who invented the cowboy hat in the 1860s. He founded the John B. Stetson Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1865, and it became one of the largest hat manufacturers in the world. The company's hats are now commonly referred to simply as Stetsons. His philanthropy helped fund Temple University and Stetson University, as well as a YMCA and a homeless shelter/soup kitchen in Philadelphia. His mansion, the John B. Stetson House, in DeLand, Florida, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Please note! There are many contemporary "proofs" of portraits and engravings being passed off as antique on eBay. All of mine, unless noted in the title, are over a century old. Many came from the American Bank Note co. archive sales. Don't be fooled! Please check my other auctions, as I combine shipping. Thanks for looking!
