Just Ohio?

Mallory bowler from probably 1900- 1920. The hat looks rough but bought it on impulse because of the great early sweatband and overall earliness.

Nice! With that logo I think it is pre-1921.

Yes, I was just getting this post together and erring on the high side with a 1929 date, but about 1916 or 1917 is the last date I've seen that type Mallory emblem in an advertisement.

Of America…. The WORLD some would say.. Dalton might

I'd have bought it for the exact same reasons, Mike.

Nice find!

Thanks. It's in rough shape and has a tear or gash in the crown, but only cost $60, so figured it needed saving for historical interest.

Waiting for 2 Stetsons I just bought today, an Imperial Stetson and a Stetsonian, both late 40's to early 50's. Both of these are going to need some work.

Waiting for this mash-up of a Royal Stetson Whippet / Wanderer or whatever it is.

Interesting. Name says Whippet. Style says Bantam.

I thought the Bantam had wider binding. Whippet? Bound Playboy? They sound like part of the same game.

I',m a very big fan of All Creatures Great and Small...so influenced by them, my latest inspired purchase is a tweed cap rather than a hat, influenced in the series by Dales farmers. It should arrive in the next week or so....I hope

My Bantam looks almost exactly like that one. I think of it as a Playboy with short binding.

I thought Bantam was a weight/quality designation, like Zephyr. Although it's more likely someone switched out the lining.
