Auld Mac “Auld/Auld” D5824 (green tam; brown coat). Designed by Harry Fenton, issued 1940 – 1985. Size: 3.25″H (small)

A song by Sir Harry Lauder, a 20th-century singer and comedian, called “Bang Went Sixpence.” inspired this piece. In it a Scotsman named Mac found the prices too high in London because every time he made a move, “band went sixpence,” which is incised on the back of his tam, below “Auld Mac.”
