German & Austrian Hutmachers

[Pellie]

Brüder Böhm made in license. A very nice black hat. Seller could not find a sizelabel, but thought it was a 59 or 60. So i took the gamble. When it came in the first thing i found was a sizelabel with 57 on it. Also 57 printed in the sweatband. How can you not see this i wonder :-( So or i try to stretch it or i will sell it. Nevertheless the quality of the hat is beautiful.

Marcel, Very interesting find! Brüder Böhm was made by Ebreichsdorf (Austria) Felt Hat Factory from 1957 to 1972 but the Paper Label is in French so I think this was made by a French Hat Company and possibly later than 1972. Is it "La Licencia" on Sweatband?

Thanks Steve. I read "in lizenz von " on the sweatband.

Thanks Steve. I read "in licencia " on the sweatband.

Marcel, Thanks! The license appears to be for the Spanish market. Tonak has / had some "Böhm" European trademarks so that is another possibility but not sure why the paper label would be in French.
