So, here's the first Hückel bought thanks to everyone's favourite Dutch hat enabler [emoji4]

A Hückel Chevreau. Beautiful, soft velvety felt on this one.

No paper label, but I'm assuming ca. 1950s

Very satisfying for an enabler to see a happy enabled (enablee?):)
The enablee thanks his enabler [emoji4]. I think you just coined a new word, Stefan. Probably the first to do so after Shakespeare. Not bad [emoji6]

Mayser "Superbe", 59 cm, possible date stamp of June 3, 1950. Great felt, dressing and form.

That is a very nice Mayser, Steve. Wonderful charcoal black colour to it. It looks like it's been well looked after both in and out.

My Maysers with dates have the month in letters, but I'm pretty sure you're right about that been a date mark. The full stops between the numbers are a very northern European way of writing dates.

Nice find, congrats.

Steve, Thanks! Looks like there could be a very faint part of a dot after the 3.
