Hey Joe
Well, I stand corrected!
My dad always told us they were made by Mills, but......I just took a look and they are indeed from another shop.
I've uploaded the tag to my personal page. Doesn't seem to be there yet but, shows up on my edit page.
The company is Hood Sailmakers, Marblehead, Mass. If you check them out on the web, it appears they are now in Rhode Island.
Hood Sailmakers, Inc.
23 Johnny Cake Hill Rd
Middletown, Rhode Island 02842-5635

I've already sent them an email inquiring about reproductions and cc'd you with the photo of the tag attached.
Please feel free to move the photo wherever you wish.
I hope this helps.
Joe
