In the leaflet we will give you 6 impressions and we kindly ask you to please send a zinc plate mounted on wood with a total pressure of 24 mm as usual.

With urgency, we kindly ask you to make the plates immediately, as we need them by the end of this week.

Sincerely

Many, many thanks, Steve, for your efforts and the additional information!
That makes sense because I bought the hat from a Saxon dealer.
It's also great, Stefan, that you posted your hat here again.
So it's clear: "Tell" is the brand and "Küßnacht" or "Uri" (at your hat) is the model name - named after swiss places!
Thanks again to both of you!
Thanks, Matt. It was your hat that made it possible to clear up the mystery of mine. Always good to find out something about a hats' history (thanks to Steve).

JHS "Huthase" (1923) Huthase (Hare Hat) was a retail operation with stores in Dresden, Chemnitz and Leipzig.

I have a JHS "Flexible" "Seal Velour" (possibly mid to late 1930s) that came from Huthase Dresden, Chemnitz, Leipzig.

Garrett, Fantastic! Really great to see the MLR price tag. This S.J. Fraenkel Wien is one of a kind find. I am always looking for old ones but haven't found anything of this vintage. I need to look at it closer again to see if I can find anything for dating. The $12.00 price might be a clue. Also the SJFW and MLR stamping.

Th. Jo. Ernst Köln "Panzara Superior" "Eden", possibly late 1950s. Based on the paper label this hat was possible made by Mayser Milz & Cie. for Th. Jo. Ernst Köln. Th. Jo. Ernst Köln was a well men's store located in Köln. I assume the Italianized "Panzara, Marca Registrata" trademark was registered by Th. Jo. Ernst Köln.

Thanks!

Are there any markings on the box? Does it appear to be for just one hat? I can't remember what it looked like inside.

Also is there a paper label behind the sweatband?

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Superior", 55cm, late 1930s. The liner shows the 60th Anniversary of the store (founded in 1878) so that would be 1938. This hat belongs Horst Brömme of Brömme Hut Museum Nuremberg. Horst is in his early 80s (4th Generation owner and hat maker) and recently sold the store (Brömme Der Hutmacher am Turm) to a young lady by the name of Regina Friese-Wittmer but he still runs his fantastic hat museum / working hat shop in the basement of the store. I would highly suggest a visit but contact them in advance to make sure that Horst is available.

Horst in his hat museum / working hat shop (October 2017). I also visited October, 2018 to take some photos of some his old hats.
