Robert Mackie bonnets on Ebay

[BobF]

I am admittedly quite uneducated when it comes to these bonnets, but I recently bought a used glengarry on Facebook Marketplace from someone selling off ex-pipe band items, and having seen the labels I’m now thinking I got a pretty good deal on a Mackie. All I have done to it was to wash it gently in tepid water with mild soap, I touched up a few white worn spots on the cockade with a black Sharpie, and added the hat badge in honor of my Donald ancestors (sort of illegitimate; my third great-grandmother Mary Brown was a milkmaid and apparently had a dalliance with the farmer’s son Robert Donald, producing my second great-grandmother Mary Donald. Any clan affiliation is dubious, I assume, as the farm is in Kilwinning in North Ayrshire, and those Donalds were in Ardrossan before that).

Can this be confirmed as a Mackie product?

Not that it matters, but is there a way to estimate the age?

The cost (minus the badge) was $10 plus $5 postage.
