P. & C. Habig

Brown P. & C. Habig, size 58cm, 1966.

 

[rlk]

Nice Habig. Typical '60's shape but felt quality tradition maintained.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap. I suspect the Hückel and Mayser above are similar vintage.

 

[mayserwegener]

Robert, Very nice Hückel and Mayser! It is too bad some knucklehead removed the sweat on the Hückel.

I was a bit surprised (in a good way) by this latest Habig. It does have some very nice felt and bow work.

M. E. G. & Cie. Straw, measures ~ 58cm. My guess is 1930s or older although I couldn't find anything on the company.

Resistol - Wegener

Resistol - Wegener Majestic Mix XX Alpen, size 59cm. Probably early or mid 1960s. Very beautiful rabbit / hare / beaver mix (very pliable) olive heather felt with unique liner / cord.

Resistol - Wegener Majestic Mix XX Alpen, size 59cm. Probably early or mid 1960s. Very beautiful rabbit / hare / beaver mix (very pliable) olive heather felt with unique liner / cord.

So, what do we have here? A Resistol made under licence in Germany or a German-ish hat made for Resistol in Germany?

[huh] Yes, there's just got to be a story behind this style run, I'll bet?!

...and of course mayserwegener, it goes without saying -- if you ever need to appoint an administrator/custodian for this particular lid...

...welp, I'm your man. heh.

1902

Here is a photograph of a man with a hat and stick by Paul Winter of Darmstadt, dated 1902. I found it at a flea market, today.

This one was specially made for the shop but my guess is Resistol (Wegener) had some of these German styles available as part of their standard product line.

Also cool photo!

Peschel Back Bow Velour

This is a olive NOS stingy Peschel back bow velour, size 59cm that I received from a hatter friend. I would say late 60s early 70s.

Wegener Super

Wegener Super probably late 50s. Wegener did fantastic bow work.

 

[rlk]

Very nice Wegener and rakish bow treatment. Looks like a lightweight felt perhaps?

 

[mayserwegener]

Yes the felt is lightweight and in very good condition.
