Tag/label: United Hatters Cap & Millinery WXRS Union - Union Made AC 199880 in the U.S.A.
It's a hard label to read, but I have tried to get it pretty exact. We kj found no brand label attached.
After some research, I found the hat was sold at a Bullock's store in California. Bullock's upscale stores were in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Ana, and San Fernando Valley. Bullock's was founded in 1907 and acquired upscale I. Magnin & Co, in 1944. Both luxury stores ended their reign, Bullocks in 1992 and I. Magnin in 1995.
