I posted this pre-Stetson Mallory bowler or derby on the Mallory Mile thread yesterday. It seems to date from 1929 to 1934 per notes from buler, etc.

Pre-1930 Trimble fedora made in Orange, NJ. I've also posted this hat on the Trimble Tavern thread.

Crosby and Co. bowler with the UHNA label.

Pre-1917 T W Hobson & Co hat. I'm thinking it dates prior to 1917 because the Union label doesn't have the Union Printers "bug" in the upper left corner. The T W Hobson Co was incorporated in 1895.

The Sheridan by Thanhauser Hat Co. This is another pre-1917 hat where the Union label doesn't have the Printers Union bug in the upper left corner. This hat is for sale on eBay.

Well, it was for sale on eBay, but I couldn't resist and bought it.
