Eddie's is a silver house, or retailer, located in Mexico City.
We often see different silversmiths marks along with their mark, for example JGE and MAP.

Hello Pete.

These Plateria's ( shops that sell silver) sold items made by many different silversmiths.
Without a maker's mark, I can't help identify the silversmith who made your hat.

Pat.
