Eakle of 1628 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA.  It has damage to the ribbon from being stored for the past eighty years with another hat stacked on top.  A new ribbon can be put on by Optimo hats in Chicago, one of America premier custom hatmakers for $25, or a new straw hat puggaree can be had for about $10 from a variety of hat shops, so that’s nothing to worry about. The straw is in excellent condition. The sweatband is stamped with the Eakle script, and “Made in Italy”.  It is fully silk lined.  Size: 7-1/8Brim Width: 2-1/2″Ribbon Width: 1-5/8″Crown Height: 5-1/2″
