Steve, again, great Western Hückel, you see not often a Hat from Hückel in that style!

Manfred, Thanks! As you know I picked this up at low cost out of curiosity. I believe JHS made these style hats for the Venezuelan market going back to the early 1900s.

Cool German Western hat Steve.

WOW!!!!! I was going to bid on that one but decided against it since it was a 7 1/4. Originally from the auction photos I thought it might date to the 30's, but from your pictures it appears to date from the teens/20's. Its a gorgeous color and I also have never seen a Disney that was that old. The sweatband looks wonderfully wide. Excellent!!!! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Agreed. What a great old lid. That color is quite pleasing, too.

P. & C. Habig Berlin Kreissäge (Boater), measures 59cm, thinking 1920s. I don't believe I have encountered a P. & C. Habig from the Berlin so very rare plus in mint condition. The straw + weave are very flexible and light weight. More details in the German - Austrian thread.

Nice score, Joe!

Same for you Steve on that pristine straw.

Scotts upbrim fedora with overwelt, light pearl (1940s)

A soft hat in the style of the upbrim fedoras of the 1920s. This Scotts apparently originates from the 1940s. The original owner bought it in the U.S. after 1945 - that was the year he moved from Europe to the States.
The actual production date of the hat may or may not be earlier than post-WWII. I have one more Scotts hat, a Homburg with the production date stamp Dec 9th 1941 on the liner that was actually sold in 1948 according to the original Scotts shipping box with a date stamp on it. In other words, stock from before or during WWII may have been left over.

The felt is wonderfully soft and holds dry creases anywhere. It's so soft in fact that I had a hard time finding a position on the old rusty spike without the crown bulging out at the rear part of the center crease.

The ribbon features basting stitches.

The color is called light pearl, a light cool grey.

A big thank you to David for forwarding the hat to me.
