Second up Mallory 10 Pliafelt $200 shipped

Mallory Ten Pliafelt with an interesting reverse bound edge treatment. OPS tag puts it between 51 and 53.

This Pliafelt is the greatest felt I've ever handled, even moreso than say my OPS Strat. It's very stiff yet creases like clay. The best word I can come up with is it's extremely "crisp."

I was hoping 40s but after receiving the hat and seeing this sizing tag behind the sweat, due to the words being below the numbers as opposed to above them, also block depth listed, I estimate this to be 50s. Sweatband conditioned with and drank up a ton of Lexol and in addition to being 100% in tact with no rips or tears, is now soft, supple and flexible. Also managed to stretch it after a naptha soak, from 7 to 7 1/8 and it now fits perfectly. Unfortunately the naptha soak did not remove the ribbon stain on the left side but other than that this hat is in excellent condition and I am enjoying it thoroughly with original center dent and pinches. Thanks for viewing.

Stetson Playboy $175 shipped

Sage green 50s Playboy. Sweat in decent condition, drank a ton of Lexol. Liner appears to be taped in a some time ago and strangely enough there are no model/size tags behind the sweat. Just 2 red pieces of paper. Price tag: $10. Also pictured with an olive colored newer 50s Whippet. If anyone can add any info I'd apreciate it.

5 1/4" open crown and 2 3/8" brim. I would estimate this hat to be around mid 1950s. It has the leaf in the crest instead of stars, among other clues...

The Playboy fits like a loose 7 or a snug 7 1/8, and the Brent fits more like a loose 7 1/8 or a snug 7 1/4. Unfortunately, there are no size tags inside either hat.
