German & Austrian Hutmachers

[steur]

Now I think I posted this before, but I I took the opportunity to take better photos and have him alongside his older brother. Black Brüders Böhm Ultima sold in France. I rather fancy the back bow.

Wow, these are some fabulous hats, Wayne. You've been holding out on us!

Thanks Gents, alas I need to frequent the boards more often! As an apology here's some photos of acquisitions in the past six months or so.

Firstly, 30s Huckel Alpha made for the Japanese market.

Wayne, Really great to see a Japanese market JHS. It's a really fantastic Alpha Velour. Would it be possible to take a sharper photo of the paper label? This is definitely a unique paper label format. Having the descriptions in English is very helpful.

Secondly, probably later 30s Huckel Prima sold in Poland.

Wayne, I don't believe I have encountered a Polish market JHS before. I wonder if it was made or came out of the JHS Skoczów, Poland factory (became PolkaP)? It's a great looking Prima Velour. Really like the color and finish. It has a Type 2 paper label.

Thirdly m, I'm guessing 20s Huckel Novo sold in France. Other than the tear in the sweat, the hat is in pristine condition.

Wayne, Super! This is a fantastic "NOVA" Velour. I believe the "NOVA" Velour was unique to the French market. Great Velour finish and color. Also great form and wide Band / Bow. It's possible that it's later 1920s early 1930s. The paper label is a Type 8.

Fourthly, the Brüder Böhms Ultima I shared in the other thread. I'd appreciate your analysis, but I'm estimating 20s. Unfortunately there's no paper tag inside. Again, sold in France

Wayne, This B.B. "Ultima" Is really fantastic. Great Velour color and finish. It looks like it could be from the later 1920s but could be a bit later.

Wayne, Thank you posting this B.B. "Ultima" too. I don't have record of it. It's a super looking Back Bow Velour.

I also have this B.B. "Ultima" that I got from Panos. Not sure why I put later 1930s. It could be based on the paper label. I will have to look into this again.

These hats are amazing. And they didn’t make any in size Sputnik (64) long oval? Is it even possible for hatmakers to find the same quality felt these days?

It's on its way to Denmark right now. The P&C Habig homburg I posted here recently prompted Steve @Steve1857 right away to ask me to get that one for him, which I did. After its arrival I took some pictures of it and sent it on to Denmark.

P&C Habig homburg in a warm grey/sand colour with lovely contrasting ribbon and brimbinding. In excellent condition for its age.

Great photos, Stefan. Can't wait to see and feel the felt for myself.

Many thanks for helping out with this beauty.

Sorry this took a while Steve but a better photo of the paper label from the Japanese Alpha - looks to be another type 8?
