Robert Mackie bonnets on Ebay

[OC Richard]

Yes indeed that's a Robert Mackie label.

It has the firm's logo (that stylised thistle) but not their name.

They used this label for at least a half-century, and all the Ebay bonnets I've listed here have it.

Being adhesive, unfortunately many genuine Mackies have no labels.

Here it is on a bonnet from the 1980s



Here's a bonnet I bought around five years ago. As you see it has their traditional adhesive label, and in addition a new label sewn into the binding



Here's a yet more recent bonnet showing new labels. Note the traditional label now lacks their thistle logo.

Plus there's a new label with the Mackie name and an even more stylised thistle.
