I couldn’t pass on this. Looks like it might be…1940s?

Wow! Good get Brent!

I see Marathon's showing up here and over in the classifieds today. I just fished another JC Penney brand out of the bay, a Towncraft. If I have my facts straight, Marathons date from early twentieth century, Towncrafts from the nineteen-fifties.
Yes, another trilby (2" brim). Looks to be in great shape, seller claims it's been in a box for forty-five years. The brim's edge is trimmed with ribbon. The color is described as a deep brown, and I am anxious to see it in life.

XXX Quality, whatever that means. When I was a kid, triple X meant it was a dirty movie. Really dirty.

Nice. It does look like an early example.

I saw those come up, be interested to see what kind of condition it is in.

I’m curious too. I have a few of them and they all punch above their weight.

Ihope its in decent shape, you may make me disappointed I didn't pull the trigger on that one.

I don’t typically buy hats with a size that starts with “6,” but this was one I really wanted:

Very cool—I was just looking at that. I’ve seen the borsas like this but never knew there was a Mallory version.

Nice pickup!

It seems to me Knox may have made one, too.

Your Coast to Coast made me know not to pass this one up. Correct me if I'm wrong. But mostly whippet specs? I have a few Mallory that are similar styling but none with C2C designation

Kinda Whippety, but i personally don't think it's as blocky as a Whippet.

I'll try to remember to take some photos of them together for comparison.

Steven Stratton Ten. The seller said she was sure the inside circumference was at least 24 inches….we’ll see.

 

[BobHufford]

'Bout time ...

It is from the later period and has a couple of spots and one moth nip that I can see.

But it's supposed to be my size and, although it went past the $25 to $45 estimate, it was still half-price.
