Mallory pre 1946 size 7-1/8

[jonbuilder]

I am offering a pre 1946 Mallory to the forum for one week before it hit ebay shipped within continental USA for $175The Mallory logo is stamped on the inside of the crow with “Established 1823” which I understand dated the hat to pre 1946 when Stetson purchased Mallory in Aug 1943. The hat is clean looks like it was barely worn. The felt is light weight with a soft crown with a center crease that did not come entirely out with steaming and bushing over an open crown hat block. The hat has two small moth divots one that is one the top of the brim that you need to look real close to see and a second swallow divot on the underside of the brim. 2-3/8 over welt brim, 5-1/2 crown, size large 7-1/8. I am between 7-1/4 and 7-3/8 long oval. The hat almost works size wise. The sweat looks and fells new. I like the medium gray shade of felt with the lighter silver gray 1-1/8 had band which a well done over welt brim edge that could pass for a cavanagh edge.
