The amendments add two new events to Rule 15c of the Securities Exchange Act, which requires brokers, dealers and municipal securities dealers that are acting as underwriters in primary offerings of municipal securities to reasonably determine that the issuer or obligated person has agreed to provide to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board timely notice of certain events.

The amendments also modify the CCO annual report content and submission requirements to reduce report preparation burdens while also making the reports more effective. On May 2, , Fitch published a report entitled: Cavanagh was not so much interested in setting styles as they were in maintaining them. Still, Cavanagh did produce some modern styles, especially once the changes in the mids came around.

As an example, here are two Cavanaghs separated in manufacturing time by thirty years:. From my experience, most Cavanagh hats in existence today, and that come on the market, are almost always from into the s. Earlier ones are rarities, though through diligence one can still find them.

Before we enter the fray on dating Cavanagh hats, I'd like to offer up a caveat. This list is not meant to be a comprehensive list of clues to dating hats, but instead is meant to serve up the most common elements that can help one attain a more accurate gauge of a hat's vintage. For Cavanagh hats, one of the best clues to narrow them to certain time periods, such as decades, is by the crest design used in their liner tips. Most important is the address for the Cavanagh shop, displayed below the shield. The trademark was registered May 13, These versions are from to , and probably on the earlier side.

Note that one style mentions the Cavanagh Edge Process across the top of the shield, and the other doesn't. Derbies could be finished with the Cavanagh Edge process without actually having a Cavanagh Edge, but examples do survive that also feature Cavanagh Edges, though they are hidden under the brim edge binding.

Here are some examples.

Within this period, there are a few clues we can use to date a hat. The first clue is this use of a rather rare debossment, "Cavanagh Make," as seen below. These have only shown up on about three hats I have seen so far, and no trademark was ever filed for it. I believe it to be from the first year or so of Cavanagh production, and then its use was discontinued. For evidence, take this Derby. I'm guessing that the Cavanagh label was not yet in use, necessitating the generic label. The writing to the left of the initials I believe reads "cav div," as in Cavanagh Division.

As well, there is a lot number 37, a relatively low lot number, which probably places it in , though it could always be really late in The second label below featuring a lot number is from the circa Derby, though this lot number appears to have far more in common with a "To Duplicate" or "Reorder" number. This is the second clue. Photos from left to right, or top to bottom: Because I knew that John Cavanagh liked to drop in from time to time on the Cavanagh division's curling bench to curl the brims on some of his branded hats, I had originally hoped that his initials meant he had personally curled the brim on this particular Derby.

No such luck, as the handwriting doesn't match up to his signature elsewhere. Still, it probably means that the hatter marked it as destined for John Cavanagh, Ltd. These types of handwritten notes don't show up on later hats, making this the third clue. Photos left to right or top to bottom: A typical s label, an NRA-period label example, and a lates printed label.

At least some early Cavanagh Derbies, probably through the earlys, feature older styling in their interiors. The leather sweatband seams are on the side, rather than the back, which is a nineteenth-century trait. This older styling seems to disappear before , though Derby-wearing was on a serious decline at that point anyway.

The early Derbies also had the hat size embossed on the sweatband, a feature that disappeared early on as well. If the hat was purchased from a Cavanagh Associate retailer in another city, the name and location of that retailer would be debossed instead. Side seam of a circa Derby, side-seam of a circa Derby, the debossed hat size in a circa Derby, and the Park Avenue address debossed on the sweatband. With regards to the leather sweatband seam being sewn as opposed to taped together with an adhesive cloth tape, in general this changeover happened around at Hat Corporation of America, though taped seams may have existed for a few years on some hats into the s.

One example of taped seams lasting longer than usual is on Carter Sweatbands, a patented design that Cavanagh used on hats in the lates and earlys. These sweatbands were not sewn into the crown of the hat, but instead were buttoned in. Buttons were sewn to the crown, and the reed tape of the sweatband had corresponding buttonholes to attach it to the hat. This would make the sweatband much easier to replace, but the idea must have sounded better in practice, because it was only used during the lates and earlys.

Carter sweatband in a soft felt hat. John Cavanagh patented something similar in , though his new patent featured a sort of rivet that went from the ribbon on the outside of the hat through the hat body and into the sweatband reed tape. I have not seen a hat with this feature, and have my doubts about whether it even made it into production. One easy way to tell a hat from the summer of until the end of May is by addition of the National Recovery Administration NRA label, featuring the famous blue eagle.

This New Deal program, as it relates to our hatting history, involved the government convincing the industries, corporations, and businesses of America to agree to minimum wages for workers, and for our hats, price floors on items manufactured and sold.

Long story short, the law that created the NRA was found unconstitutional by the U. Supreme Court on May 27, , and price floors and labels were no longer applied to goods. Here is an example of an NRA label in a Cavanagh soft felt hat. If you have one of these labels in your hat, then congratulations, you've narrowed the manufacturing window to as close as you'll be able to get it without something like a verified sales receipt! At some point in , John Cavanagh, Ltd.

The block of Park Avenue that they occupied between 46th and 47th Streets seems to be made up of , , and This originally placed John Cavanagh, Ltd. They would remain at those two addresses until They changed the address references accordingly, to "Park Avenue at 47th Street, New York" which made it easier for the potential customer to identify the location.

They would also list the mailing address in advertisements as " Park Avenue at 47th Street. Below are a advertisement for their Park Avenue expansion, and two liner examples of that address change:. Hat Corporation of America standardized their factory labels across all of the lines right around This standardized label continued for the rest of the decade until about One difference on some s labels is the inclusion of the patent number for a new finishing process, patented by John J.

Cavanagh's son, John Garvan Cavanagh. They also feature the descriptors for each number, unlike the previous examples. The descriptors may mark a distinction in time and be used for dating purposes, but I need to collect more data. Typical s label, s label from a Dobbs Derby with incremental sizing, and a s label with the JGC patent number. It was designed to create price ceilings for similar products among various manufacturers within an industry. So, Hat Corporation of America, Stetson, Lee, and other hat manufacturers would agree one which hats among their various lines were similar, and abide by a fixed-price ceiling for these hats.

Labels from this era, would read "O. R ," or whatever the price might have been , and were affixed inside the sweatband for the customer to see.

Below is a label from a s Dobbs Boater that has the Price Ceiling listed. There appears to have once been a consumer-removable portion with the pertinent OPA information, and was removed long ago. Kind of like mattress tags, in a way.
