Done right... other than a different liner, replaced sweat and or missing tags, new ribbon (sometimes an amputated brim) there is no way to tell a hat has been cleaned or re-furbed...IF done right. What ever the history of your hat ( and 60 - 70 years is a lot of history) it is simply and... -

IF indeed it is residue from the oxi-bleach than a good stiff brushing should remove it. Perhaps adding some water to break it down......then steam...........IF it is residue. If not, then the markers... As far as brand, it is more important they are colorfast/permanent type markers. I... -

USUALLY with a mild use of oxiclean it will not do that.......it works differently than chlorine..but it does happen on non colorfast..............It sounds like it is time for a magic marker touch up.........there is no other way to restore that color loss. My wife is quite the wizard on... -

Not directly....part of the process back in the day was to remove the liner and then clean the felt. This was/is a total submersion proccess done in stoddard solvent ( petroleum distilates). During this process things like size labels, re-order tags, anything glued to the felt will come off... -
The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
Wonderfull find!! My humble guess on the lack of tags and the highly unusual liner is it was cleaned and the body of the liner replaced and sewn to the old tip. Many cleaners offering full hat cleaning and restoration did sew the liners back in. Really quite the cool liner now....... Simply... -
