"Thanks, Chris! Spalding was the manufacturer.
That Bees hat is a stunner! It's in beautiful condition. I thought it was interesting that the leather band matches this example ..."
Chris, it was that McKechnie cap I used to verify the authenticity of mine. The one I have is missing the Horace Partridge patch, which was glued to the inside, and not stitched. When looking at mine under a bright light, you can see the outline of the patch and light glue residue from where it was attached.
