Echter Rockel Velour, size 59cm, new old stock. Really fantastic colors (felt, liner, ribbon) and Velour finish. Also a perfect fit. Thinking early 50s but it has an earlier form so not really sure. This one took a while to arrive but well worth the wait.

Steve, great! That is a fine Rockel Velour with a perfect shape. The liner looks great too but it looks older as the 50s!

 

[mayserwegener]

Manfred, Thanks! It could be older but I am really not sure. The liner outer color is very unique / beautiful.

 

[Chepstow]

Is one of the best Liners and Rockels! Your crown is definitely higher than on my Rockel!

 

[Chepstow]

The sweatband stitching and the bow on the sweatband of your Rockel are different! I think your hat is a little bit older!

Yes very nice color! It reminds me of a Resistol - Wegener Majestic Mix XX, Alpine of mine which I sold to a friend a while back.

Nice Trachtenhut! It was made by TONAK (Czechoslovakia). Looks like the production year is 1966 based on the paper label. JHS was nationalized as TONAK after WWII.

Is there any difference between a Trachtenhut & a Tyrolean hat ?

Because Trachtenhut that literally translates to Traditional Hat?

See I've always though that Bavarian, Tyrolean, Alpine & Trachtenhut have all been the same hat just called different things.

 

[mayserwegener]

Trachtenhut is a catch all. There are many different German/Austrian/North Italian traditional styles.

TONAK, Hückel Related, German + Euro Trademarks

It appears TONAK is the only company holding current Hückel related trademarks for Europe. It also appear they didn't receive trademarks until around 1966. I assuming the 1930s trademarks where under JHS and didn't transfer but I could be wrong. As far as I can tell TONAK didn't sell under the Hückel name in Germany (not sure about the rest of Europe) while Hückel Hutfabrik Weilheim was still in business (closed 1975).
