That is a really nice Failsworth you found there, Marcel.
They're not as easily available on the market as most of the other Manchester area hatmakers.
At a push, from the shape, style and hat liner logo, I would say 50s to early 60s.
Thanks for the accoutrement tip, Jack. I don't smoke, but have always admired the various looks of pipes.
I'll definitely keep me eye out for a Stanwell H.C. Andersen
Thanks, Stefan.
They definitely are becoming somewhat addictive, especially ones as special as these two.
Looking forward to posting the newest Topper that's on its way as we speak :)
That is a great price for a Lincoln Bennett.
I would have easily paid double at least for it.
Please post photos of the liner, sweatband, and any labels underneath.
Remember too, to post it in the "The Bowler or Derby Hat" thread.
Once again, congrats on the buy :)
Ca. Edwardian Horne Brothers:
15cm crown height. Just under 5cm brim.
Horne Brothers had many establishments in London, as can be seen on the liner logo, and around the country.
Modern gentlemen's underwear leaves a lot to be desired compared to back in the day :)
Henry & Co, somewhere between the two World Wars, I believe.
As hard as I've tried, and despite its prominent address, I haven't found out anything about this Top Hat.
Crown height 13cm, with a 5cm brim
Unusual to see the size on the sweat of a Top Hat. Especially in English, American...
This Topper has some great looking case candy, so I hope I'm forgiven for buying another one.
The liner logo had me hooked straight away.
More to come once it arrives.
