Going Atomic With Dalton

[The Lost Cowboy]

I think I have a couple different types of size tag. I was interested if the reorder tag was one with the eagle and whatnot.

No - my tag is very plain Jane.

I was convinced last year when we talked that mine was made by Dalton but I don’t remember why. I could search for that discussion but I’m not that fussed - it must have been in the WHAYWT thread.

I may be missing something but i think they misspelled Dalton too.

Thanks, Dave. Can you give us a time frame on that ad?

1948. Probably 10ish years before the hat in question was made

1948. Probably 10 to 15 years before the hat in question was made

Thanks, barring any updated dating information I guess it's safe to assume that any non-Dalton His Excellency hats were made sometime between 1952 and 1964.

My Thanks to Frunobulax for pointing me to this thread. Here are a few pix of a hat I recently acquired. Still amazes me how much information is available here at TFL !!

Here's a hat I recently acquired that belongs in this thread. Despite being labeled as a Ken Hearne, it has all the markings that scream "Dalton" . The felt is very nice and molds by hand easily without steam.
