What hat are you waiting for today?

[Rmccamey]

Nice ones, Mike. I keep looking for a Maclachlan.

Bought 3 hats on eBay yesterday. One was a Mac Lachlan.

Nice ones, Mike. I keep looking for a Maclachlan.

Thanks a lot. That's the first decent-looking Maclachlan I've seen for sale with a somewhat wide brim. Hope I'm not disappointed with it. It might be at the bottom of the Maclachlan quality ladder, not sure, but it was by no means an inexpensively priced hat. I stumbled across it late last night and it was an impulse purchase. It looked good enough that I was afraid if I didn't act, someone else would grab it. Didn't dawn on me at the time, but it was sold by another Lounge member.

The third was a Dobbs One Hundred.

A trio of top tier hats.. congratulations Mike.

About 1930's Western style hat, unknown maker. 3 3/4 inch brim and 6 1/2 inch open crown. Another one to salvage. Needs new sweatband and cleaning. It's pretty nasty now. It was sitting in Albuquerque, NM in these photos.

Looks like the 1940’s Carlsbad 4x7 sold thru Sears catalog.

This cool very old newsboy cap showed up today

 

[MikeinRome]

1940's Knox Vagabond King. Has 2 1/2 inch brim and WWII era OPA tag.

 

[MikeinRome]

1950's Knox Twenty. Said to be olive green. Has regular Knox HCA mfg tag but also the more uncommon HCA tag. One tag says 6 7/8 and the other says 7 and a fraction. It has a nice Cavanagh Edge and for $25 I couldn't resist.

Sweet lid Don...I love the color combination

LOVE that color combo, Don!!

Thank you gentlemen.

I found a couple caps in potentially wearable sizes, varying levels of condition.

I think I might have found my first Dalton, Jim @Frunobulax

Cool. Unlike any other Dalton markings I've seen. Any tags under the sweatband?

It's not arrived yet, Jim. I'll post the labels, if any, as soon as it gets here.

I took a punt on it at a cheap price with another hat, so no loss if it's not a true Dalton.

I'm just wondering if there was possibly a European company of the same name, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

You're on the ball Jim. This Dalton was apparently established in London in 1880.

To paraphrase Star Trek: it's a Dalton Jim, but not as we know it.

I couldn't find anything about this company. Perhaps they were more sellers of hats than makers.

Døring was a well known fur and hat shop in Danmark's 3rd largest town, Odense. It was established in 1860, and was still going strong some 100 years later. Here's a photo of Peter Døring, son of the stores second owner, from 1960.

I guess I'm still looking for my first Dalton of Yonkers hat.

Looks like a nice hat either way.

Thanks Jim.

It's seen better days, but it's not at all bad. A bit of steam and tlc, it should be okay to go.

I always enjoy finding good unknown hat brands. A real Dalton would have been better though
