The thing is, that liner screams 60s to me. I think its a replacement.

Was thinking same thing that liner sure looks later. Everything else points to late 50s.

That price tag detail Mark added is definitely a useful tool to narrow the window.

Which gives rise to the question, "twenty what?". Deutsche marks or dollars?

W. & G. Schuchard "Flexa" made by Hückel Weilheim, 57 cm possibly mid 1960s. I believe this is the first for sure Hückel Weilheim Original Manufactured hat. "Flexa" is probably short for "Flexible" which is a common Hückel trademark going back to JHS. The "Saale" Form might have a been W. & G. Schuchard request. W. & G. Schuchard was a well known wholesaler / distributor going back to 1879. The black Felt has a nice smooth finish with a very fine hand. The overall quality is high with Hückel Weilheim features such as gold embossed liner and hanging cord.

A Borsalino M. Prato in color C. Pineta if i say this correctly? Fantastic soft felt (velours) on this one, and good proportions.

Hello guys,

Just bought this Cavanagh 7 1/2. Happy that I found my size. Any information about it ? Is it made of beaver ? The felt looks very nice. I will send more pics when I receive it.

Great Cavanagh! It does not mention the "Park Avenue at 47th street New York" on the lining, so not sure about it's date. Maybe someone else nows?
