    Johann Hückel´s Söhne (pre 1940)

    I should have said 6-7/8 + about 1/2 size less than full 7 with a proper measuring device. If you measured at edge it comes out slightly larger. Don't know how he came up with 52 unless he measured at the crown edge of the band..

    Hückel Standard Crystall Velour Fits as about a size 7+. No country indicated so dating uncertain but likely 30's.

    The Cap Faction

    Catalog scans of 1934-5 Note fabrics, adjustability and reduced overall dimensions--still hard to pin down with caps as same styles and fabrics persisted. Fabrics are lightweight for Spring

    The Cap Faction

    Southland Caps Modest proportions. Perhaps mid '30's(speculative)? Adjustable with front buckle but I'm at the upper limit.

    20s - 30s Royal Stetson Mode Edge Zephyr Weight Sz 7 3/8

    Stetson used Selv-Edge first in '33. Mode Edge appearing closer to 1940 so Alan seems likely to be correct.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    I haven't found a wholesaler's Borsalino Catalog where they might appear. Retail Catalogs have model names that do not appear on the hats too.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Second word can be ribbon color if different than felt Palazzo Folco Vicenza Factory and Palace and section of the city(Family name). Doesn't seem overly brown...quite nice though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDPQTxXrjtg

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Many companies in Europe in the period used these made-up words(not really names) in their catalogs--the choice of first letter likely has a category associated. More an alternative to numbers. Not originating from real words in any language. Here's an American Wholesaler of the 30's with...
