J. Hückel´s Söhne "Plume", FP 5 3/4, 160 grams, possibly early 1930s. Great Form and Finish. Striking Liner Design that I have never seen before from JHS. Same with the Sweatband type and the Stitched in Liner which is not common with Stiff Felt Hats.

The Stitched In Liner black thread is visible above the Paper Label.

A very distinctive bowler. The liner is exquisite.

Carl Ceschka Wien "Biber", 58 cm possibly early 1930s. This is my first Carl Ceska Wien Stiff Felt and it's overall fantastic. The Beaver Felt has a great finish the Bow design is striking. The overall condition is excellent. It came from a Slovenian Seller so that was a first. I was really happy to find this Stiff Felt.

Moores bowler in grey. Size 57 with the bound brim at 5cm and the crown at 12cm. No label inisde the hat. I try to pick up bowlers if they are a different colour than black and I was thinking this could maybe be nice for one of our members here. The hat fits me fine, but would probably be too small for the size 57 and a smidge members of the lounge. What can you do?

Stefan, Super find! I am always on the look out for alternate colors but most I find are very small sizes. Thr Novy Jicin City museum has a couple early 1900 Velour Stiff Felts. I have posted photos. I have never came across one.
