Missed this one......my size too.......envy.............great catch!Came home and while is a jet-lag stupor, won this Mallory. It looks like a nice old one, but I'm sure y'all will let me know if I messed up and bought a modern Stetson or some other such horror...

There are some good hats from the 70's - 80's to be sure. This one does look pretty cool. I think you did well!

This one should steam up quite nice. Judging by the Dobbs Coach logo and the thinner black sweat you may be in the right ball park on dating. Probably closer to 70s. Is there a copy write symbol by the logo? That is post 1972.
Not negative in the least. I always love to see the restoration process on these hats. I didn't mean to disparage this find in any way. I still say it is a sweetie!
This is a nice looking Mallory. I have an aristocrat quality and it is a great hat. Can't wait to see it.Came home and while is a jet-lag stupor, won this Mallory.

Thanks, Red. Me too. This will be my first Mallory. Have heard good things, but couldn't remember what details set the pre- and post-Stetson hats apart from each other. I snagged a sweet Champ Featherweight before I flew to Ecuador, but asked the seller to wait until 7/8 to ship. When he shipped the hat, he included a little note saying "BTW, I have another real nice hat for sale if you're interested." I looked in on it about 12 minutes before the end of the auction and decided to pounce with 8 seconds to go. I got it for less than half of my max bid amount...
Thank you very much sir! The color combo was what drew me to the hat. Hopefully I didn't snag it away from you.
Thanks Doug! I am excited to get it.
Thanks Mike! The picture quality and zoom isn't quite good enough for me to see the trademark symbol if there is one. I sure couldn't see one so perhaps it's a pre 72' hat! When she arrives I will grab some better photos for sure. Plus I want to do a before and after pic once I get done brushing at steaming it.

That's a beauty , Doug. The "Established 1817" in the logo makes it post Stetson merger. the paper size tag takes it into the 1950's era ( From info I have gathered here on the Lounge).
Thanks for the input! I was hoping it was pre-merger hat, but it does look like a nice hat in excellent condition.
Nice hat. Since you brought up getting it for "half of my max bid amount" what did you end up getting it for?
...and worth every "penny."
