Wow, and an OPS price tag. Helps to date this one to Korean War period. Are we sure it is a homburg? Looks like that brim could handle a snap! Very nice hat.

I think it's a Homburg but I'll leave that to the experts. Also in the mix is a nice St. Regis Homburg, maybe others. From my search I think the owner of these hats died in 1969 & they had remained in his closet. Though small by today's standard I hated to leave them behind but maybe I should have. I bought all but 2. If I work more up I'll probably just take them to eBay.

Thanks for your comment Mike.
