Love the dimensions/proportions of the hats in these ads. Could be from the 40's, but actually 1919/1920.

Those ARE some wide ribbons!! Probably 2 1/4 or wider. The hat on the far left has a very similar ribbon treatment to my 1930s M Schwartz and Co

1920:

I love that this ad specifies that they used Silk ribbon. I was under the impression that a Cotton/Rayon mixture was used early on, but I have had pre-1920 hats with ribbon that I knew wasn't cotton. I wonder if the ribbon used was a Silk/cotton mix, a silk/rayon mix, or some other kind of mixture. The vintage ribbon that I have seen on most pre-1920's hats are most definitely not 100% silk.

Bill I found this on a newspaper search

1940s? Mallory Premier. This hat is SOFT! Very lightweight felt! The hat even has the remnants of that orange plastic material, which is interesting since this is the first time I have seen the orange stuff... but man is it messy if it blows out of the hat!

New to me Mallory Ten with puggaree. I posted this hat in the new hats threads but thought I would put it here also with a couple of extra photos for the Mallory wearers.
Took these photos before a trip to the freezer just to be on the safe side.

Going to need some brushing, Woolite touch-up, steaming and shaping but I think it will be a nice hat. A companion for my Lt. Grey Mallory Ten with 1817 liner and puggare.

Great looking hat, Mystic!

Indeed. That pug gives it a dressier look somehow.

Justin, were you able to steam out the wrinkles from that ribbon? Nice lid.

 

[Mystic]

Hey, thanks Aaron...


Thanks Randall, The pug does give a felt a nice change of pace look from the traditional bow.

My granddad and two of my uncles worked in the Mallory factory in Danbury CT. You should have seen the old hatter's hands. But we grandchildren had great "cowboy hats" when we were kids.

Fantastic!... a new find?

Thanks, it's fresh from ebay. First hat I've bought off the bay in a long time. Fits great, but lots of stitches missing.
