In the lot of the two Huckels in the rust-red color there was also this bowler hat which from size 5 1/2 seems to belong to the same person who had worn the two Huckels.
The lining reads "Mode de Paris" and nothing else alongside a lion rampant with flag.
No paper label other than a red size certifying that it is a 5 1/2 or 58 centimeters and a 7 1/8 in the US.
It is a lightweight, well-made bowler hat with a French-looking construction.
It suffered some damage during shipping which is visible on the left side, otherwise it is well preserved, except for the sweatband which is marked by use.
The measurements are as follows: the cambered wings are 5 centimeters apart, the ribbon is 2.5 cm high. and the crown is 12 centimeters.
It came directly from a very far era. It seems of the same age of the Huckel, so a 20 - 30 hat from the last century
Despite my brushes the dust of time is still present. It is on sale for those who love this kind of hats.

I have accumulated a fair number of furs hats ready to be showed in the Lounge
Brand: EDKA - Le Chapelier with various shops in Paris
Manufacturer: Fraenkel - Wien
Felt type or finish: not indicated. The felt has a medium fur, soft and pliable
Size 6 or 59 cm in Europe or 7 3/8 in the US. The size is true to the tag
State of preservation: fantastic felt, excellent sweatband and the lining is present and well preserved
Age of the hat: it was probably made between the 1930s and 1940s, but, as for the Huckels, Steve (mayserwegener) will be able to date it much more precisely, given his enormous experience and his unique collection of Central European felts.
Considerations: the hat is a magnificent example of Fraenkel manufacturing in Austria during the last century.
The felt has a black-steel color and is beautifully preserved. The ribbon is good and it deserves a steam to be more flat.
The measurements of the EDKA - Fraenkel are: the raw finished brims measure 6 cm, the ribbon matching the color of the felt is 5 cm high and the open crown is 15 cm

Next is a Stetson Royal Bantam in a light brown. I'm not sure of the age since there are no inner labels. I'm guessing 50s or early 60s.

Next is a Stetson Royal Deluxe Open Road. I'm guessing from the 50s. I could only find the one inner label.

Lastly is this lovely Stetson 3x. I'm guessing 40s based on the inner labels and the thick beautiful felt.

A very nice set of hats Don.
Those are some remarkable acquisitions! I especially like this Homburg. Randy hooked you up!

Just picked up this "Melton". I'm not into the shorter brims but this was so nice I couldn't pass it up. It was only 20.00 and came with this **** ugly hat box. Not sure if it's original to the hat but it came along with it. I'm not familiar with "Melton" hats but I believe this is from the 1950's. Nice 5" open crown with a 2" brim.
Any insight would be helpful.

This fellow arrived tonight. Still trying to work out the best way to photograph him.
This hat is very beautiful and incredibly comfortable.
More on the Borsa thread once I sort out a better way to photograph him. For now, very big thanks to @BrianB - you’ll be happy to know that this guy fits me perfectly!

Thanks Randy!
Great buy, Nathan. A wonderful Borsalino Homburg in everyway.
Looks like you and that one were made for each other. Congrats!
That is another beauty, Nathan. You have some catching up to do in the homburg nation thread!
