Tonak "Brillant" "бриллиант", possibly early to mid 1950s. The condition of the light colored Velour is excellent along with the all the components. The Velour felt is very pliable and easily dry creases. The liner is really special along with the Russified Tonak mark. This hat was made for...- mayserwegener

J. Hückel´s Söhne / Jaques Mayer "Standard", possibly later 1920s.

Steve, It's very thin so I tend to think it's probably Silk Plush. I didn't look into this in detail so I don't know how they verified this was Lincoln's Silk Top Hat.- mayserwegener

This is the Silk Top Hat Lincoln wore the night of assignation. As you can see it is not collapsible and has a flatter brim. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2014/sep/28/smithsonian-dusts-off-lincoln-artifacts/- mayserwegener

Yes, it was not collapsible. Also not what we would consider a Silk Top Hat.- mayserwegener

Toppers Unite
There were Silk Top Hats made in Germany and Austria post WWII. P. & C. Habig Wien were the last to make Silk Top Hats. They acquired the tools and stock from Spoorenberg in the early to mid 1970s. P. & C. Habig Wien made Silk Top Hats up to WWII. Here you can read about here on my website...- mayserwegener

Daniele, I will try to find the "Bantam" trademark status in Germany. I think your hat could be from the later 1930s early 1940s but can't say for sure.- mayserwegener

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible", possibly 1930s. The smooth finish black felt is light in weight and very pliable. The off-white wide sweatband, gilded liner logo, and liner piping are more inline with JHS Stiff Felts. The overall condition is excellent. I found this Soft Felt back in 2017...- mayserwegener
