Steve, Thank you! I agree about the Liner. It might be older than the 1920s. I really like this one. It's very light in weight. I will take it for a spin next week.
Tonak "Jubilant", 1959. This is another hat from my May 2016 NOS Czech Find. This hat was made for the 160 Year Anniversary of JHS / Tonak. I often use this hat for travel.
220 Year Anniversary, Tonak formally JHS Factory, September 6, 2019
This was my second visit to the Tonak...
Ottmar Reich, measures 58cm, possibly 1920s. I found this Straw back in November 2016 but I didn't realize until recently it originally had a Mother of Pearl button at the bottom of the Bow. I searched around and found a vintage Mother of Pearl button that worked so here it is again...

Tonak Iradon, mid to late 1950s. This is another hat from my May 2016 NOS Czech Find.
170th (1799 - 1969) Anniversary of TONAK (24 Years). Yes no mention of Hückel (146 Years) on the cover. Most of the book is a history of hats but there is a chapter on the history of the JHS...
TONAK "Lestand" probably mid to later 1950s. Really like the color combo and the form. This Soft Felt is from my May 2016 NOS Czech Find.
I received the following gifts from Tonak when I visited the factory for the Tonak / J. Hückel ´s Söhne Employees 220 Years celebration...
Janyška, "Praga" possibly mid 1930s to early 1940s. This Soft Felt is also from my May 2016 NOS Czech find. It has an extreme Brim flange (can see in the 2nd photo) without Binding. It also has a wide Band and Bow and the Black Felt has a very soft hand.
Janyška Hat Holder...
Mark, David, Thank you! I purchased the hats from a antique store in the Czech Republic. From what I can remember they were stored away in a building and accidentally found.
I made a similar NOS find back in 2015. Also from the Czech Republic. Here are the photos from the seller that show...
Janyška "Praga" possibly late 1930s early 1940s. The felt has an Chamois like finish. This Soft Felt is from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.
Half width Sweatband.
My May, 2016 NOS Stock Find. There were 20 hats (Brüder Böhm, J. Hückel´s Söhne, TONAK, Janyška) and 4 hat holders...
J. Hückel´s Söhne Extra "Loutre / European Otter", Point size 4 1/2, probably late 1800s. This is the oldest JHS Soft Felt I have encountered. This museum piece Velour belongs to Garrett. The photos were lost here at the FL. The form of this Velour is similar to early Edward VII Homburg...
Steve, Thank you! And thank you again for pointing out the spectacular bow treatment. I haven't come across another hat from this hatter's establishment.
