As we speak, the photos in the Marathon thread now. As far as the brim goes, the pics are such that they aren't out of focus and they clearly show a three line stitching and definitely a felted edge. Every Marathon I've seen has binding on the edge.
Just picked this up online for 24.00 and the seller listed it as just a " brown hat ". One thing I noticed on this Marathon over others that I have is that it has the felted edge. I was corrected on this by an earlier post as I mistakenly called it a mode edge. Does anyone have any info as to...
Last week I bought this 1950s Penny's Marathon off of the internet for 24.00. The lady had it listed as just a "brown hat". I figured for 24.00, how could I go wrong and when I received it, I was really surprised how nice it was. My question is, and I hope someone can clear some light on this. I...
Wow, beautiful!!! By the looks, yours would be around the same time period as mine. What year do you think yours would be? Early to mid 40's? The only difference between the two other than the color is yours says extra quality on the sweat band and mine says superior quality on the sweat.

Not sure if it's proper to post this here but it does pertain to hats and scammers on Facebook Marketplace that I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
A few days ago, I saw another 1950s Stetson Whippet for sale for 75.00. I didn't want to make the 2hr drive to get it because the day before...
These are the pics of the Whippet I picked up today. I drove two hours to go get it and when I asked the lady how she got the hat, she said it was her grandfathers, and when he passed away, she went to take care of his estate and found this with other hats he owned. He bought it new and never...
Here's some website pics of the Whippet that I'm going to pick up on Friday. The hat was never worn and kept in a box most if not all of its existence and the price was ridiculously low. So, this was definitely a no brainer. I'm confused with giving a date to these Whippets, but I believe it may...
