It looks like Dalton only used the name "Mistery Felt" in 1937. After that I find a couple other companies using it, including Boyd's in 1948, possibly it was made for them by DaltonA fedora labeled "Mystery Felt" does cause me to pause.

Thanks Joe.L
looking real good today Michael
Beautiful hat, Joe. Might need to get me one of these (but I'm unwilling to pay the Whippet prices)
Thanks, Michael. I seem to have hit the special critter hats this week.
Love the colours of your Hanover Square. Goes perfectly with the coat as well.
Very nice, Perry.
Beautiful hat, Daniele. Understated elegance.
Thank you, Eric. You set an example for us all.
Great snag, Bill. That one could have started a bidding war on the bay! Magnificent.
It's the unknown makers that can surprise us sometimes. Great combo, Michael.
Thanks Stefan.An Adam in Eva-shape; that can't be a coincidence. Gorgeous hat, Dave. Very cool ribbon.
Well, there's different view altogether, Perry. The great hat is still there though.
Impressive proportions on this one, Eric. Nice! Good thing it was weather tested!
The kind of hat that goes with anything, Michael.
Whoa, that's not a crown, that's a tower, Ross!
