FL Quiz Game: What Hat Is This?

[Dreispitz]

Hello Folks,

it just came to my mind to introduce a guessing game on hats here on the lounge.

Rules:

1. Anyone can post a hat and the others guess, what hat it is. Manufacturer, style, date.

2. Help, in terms of hot or cold, is permitted.

3. In case, it is too hard, aditional pictures can be requested or added by the one, who posted the hat.

4. New hats may be posted for guessing after the previous is identified.

Let´s see, who will identfy most hats over time.

Here is the first one

Homburg
Stetson? - possibly German made (seeing as how you're in Germany)
Premier? (My British made Stetson and my German made stetson both carry this designation)
Age - 60's?

Homburg, Lock & Co, 1950s

Cool!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Stetson Premier Homburg made under licence in Germany. 60 ies should be a good time frame, as well.

Congratulations!

 

[mayserwegener]

Was that made by Wegener?

 

[Dreispitz]

Was that made by Wegener?

Could have been. As far, as I was told by a befriended lady who was the owner of a hat shop, Wegener did the licence hats for Stetson in Germany.

So, here is the next one!

 

[billyspew]

Maclachlan?

 

[Dreispitz]

Maclachlan?

This is obviously too easy

Mac Lachlan is correct.

What about the dating?

 

[billyspew]

Based on the Hat Corp bow I'd guess 50's?

 

[Dreispitz]

Will check tomorrow. As far, as I remember, Mac Lachlan made hats for Hat Corp.. Did they do the bow-style on their earlier hats they sold under their own name?

[billyspew]

I want to say Portis due to the crown shape. The unique edge binding would fit with that.

 

[Lefty]

Wow, you're good!

 

[Lefty]

 

[billyspew]

Thank you.
I'll let some other people have a go now!

 

[Dreispitz]

Based on the Hat Corp bow I'd guess 50's?

50ies?

 

[billyspew]

Not sure. I'd say it could be mid-late 30's - mid 50's.
The paper tag has a late 40's early 50's feel.

Well, it came together with a bowler from around 1930. Certinly was the same owner. However, he could have well bought the hat a little later.

O.K., mission acomplished! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
