Nice catch Rabbit!

I'm sure I heard that hat say "ouch".

Wouldn't it be fun, a talking hat... although it might be a big headache.

Lovely Mallory Nik! I am sure this is the hat to have when you travel by plane. :eusa_clap

Oh if our hats could talk, what stories they could tell!

How true...
I just hope a talking hat would also have the decency to shut up every once in a while... lol

Mallory Streamliner

Got this beautiful Mallory Streamliner Ten yesterday. Minty and unworn. Still has the model name sticker on the sweatband. Ad for the Streamliner is from 1948.

The paper tag ("The Streamliner") answers a question I posed a while back about the countless hat style/model names seen in those great scans some of you have posted; the model names rarely appear embossed on the sweat. Perhaps makers other than Mallory identified their models with similar tags. That would explain why so few remain.

Sorry, fits like a glove.
