Simply wonderful Ant! It is interesting with the order of the words, Royal Stetson Deluxe vs. Stetson Royal Deluxe. I'll have to look at my late 50s, but I think Stetson is not the middle word. Cool...

Yes
My two flagships are probably just a few years apart and have the words swapped
I pointed that out in a side by side comparison of the hats in the thread by that name

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Alpha - Seal Velour", French Point 4 probably mid 1930s. The black Velour felt (very difficult to photograph, absorbs light) is really fantastic (perfect condition) with a beautiful Alpha quality Seal Velour finish. This hat came from the same seller as the J.Hückel´s Söhne "Paltin" and most likely belonged to the same original owner. It also came with an original Hückel box.

The following photographed really shows the quality of the Alpha quality Seal Velour (close sheared with high gloss).

I took delivery of a Tonak Selentino Sterling that I purchased on eBay. I've bought a few of these from the same seller. The hats are typical of Tonak fur felt hats and a good deal if you can buy them right. The colors, well, that's another proposition. This shade of brown was a bit disappointing as it was definitely copper colored.
