Wonderful piece Steve. I am wondering how you find those things! [emoji16]

Fraenkel Wien, Celluloid Advert Card by Prager & Lojda Berlin S.W., 9 cm x 6 cm, possibly 1920s. I purchased a bunch of interesting pre WWII German and Austrian advertising pieces from a seller out of Lativa. This is the only one from Fraenkel Wien but it's fantastic. I would like to thank Stefan for the tip.

Superb piece, Steve. And no better place for it to land than in your collection. Glad it worked out.

This WWII era Karl Misik (Kami) arrived today. I bought it off Alan, who originally got it via Steve's Czech haul back in 2015.

It has a very soft, grey heather felt which, by the feel of it, suggests some wool content.

It fits rather nicely and is very malleable.

Steve has more info about Kami on his germanaustrianhats website.

In my opinion, it looks good with the brim up or snapped down. It also has the iconic look of a hat from that period of European history.

I particularly like the original bow style.

Magnificent hat, Steve. Good that it found a new home, because Alan has two of them I believe. I was interested in that one too, but some doubts about its size and being too large for me held me back. It goes very well with your beard I must say.

Great find, Garrett. Loads of Maysers out there, but not of this caliber! This wasn't on Ebay I take it, or you would have seen it!?

It was on German Ebay but I hadn't seen it before Steve pointed it out.

Another great little piece. Tried to bid once on a super looking light coloured Rousselet homburg, but the seller would not ship abroad. Didn't know they became Resolut.

Thanks, Stefan [emoji4]. It fits me very nicely so I think it would have been too big for you even with cork in the sweat.

VEB Vereinigte Hutwerke Guben Luxus in dark blue. No label inside the hat, but either a 56 or a 57 because it fits me very well. Brim at 6cm and crown 10cm at the center dent and it weighs 148 grams. These VEB hats aren't always of the best quality, but this one has an excellent hand to the felt. Did I mention it is blue?

Peschel in sämisch quality in a size 55. It just needed a little nudge to fit me. I left this hat behind in the store two times before, but this time around its number was up. Brim at a good 6cm and crown 10cm at the center dent (which it doesn't have, but you know what I mean). It actually wouldn't take a center dent, so I ended up with this crease. The hand of the chamois felt is outstanding. I needed another, because my other Peschel ended up in Copenhagen.

Not only is it blue, it's a very nice blue. Cool find, Stefan.
