THE MALLORY MILE

[MikeinRome]

I want one just like it!

It cost me like $80, which wasn't too bad, but it's a very small size, so I'm stretching it to fit.

I'm keeping an eye out for hats for a young friend with a smaller head, and saw this. Mallory is not a brand in my wheelhouse, so any ideas on vintage here? Thanks in advance!

This is a post 1946 Stetson takeover Mallory. Most likely later 1950s with the card stock size tag instead of fabric. Mallory was still making very good quality hats in this era.

Thank you, Joe! I was guesstimating late 50s from the general style; nice to know I was, even if by happenstance, in the right ballpark!

What size are you looking for, Mark?

Kid says he wears a 6 & 5/8, Randy. Just looking to get him something not too costly, to set the hook.

Trying to figure vintage on this one, as well:

Ok. I don't have any that small but I'll keep my eyes open, Mark. Good luck.

I would guess mid/late 60s possibly 70s

Thank you, Joe! Greatly appreciated.

Greetings,

I am new to this forum and this is my first Mallory. I would like to know how old it is, what model, and what pliafelt means? The material is very soft and barely holds its shape. Pretty cool that whoever owned this before, one can tell they loved it.

Any information is appreciated.

Best regards,


Charlie

OPA & OPS Ceiling Price Tags

Many of us on the lounge have seen hats with OPA tags and some with OPS tags. I know there has been lengthy discussion on these tags, but there is no thread SPECIFICALLY dedicated to them. I did a search of "Ceiling Price" and there's only one thread which shows an example. In the Stetson...
