Post New Hats Here!

[Daniele Tanto]

Here's another missed opportunity.

It arrived with the Panizza introduced yesterday and a couple of other hats you'll see soon, but it has the same flaw: it's too small.
A Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore with an oval shape measures 19 x 16.5 centimeters.

I'm sorry, but I can't see the paper tag containing the hat's information; the sweatband is stucked to the lining in some places.

It's likely been heavily used and stored in a less than delicate manner over the years.

As you can see, the bow is on the back. The lining is an "antique" one, as are the markings and the height of the sweatband.

These are the measurements: the raw brims are 5 cm, the hatband is 5 cm high, and the lowest point of the crown is 11 centimeters. It needs some attention to get back to its perfect shape.

"Hopefully there is someone who can take this off your hands and give it love."
I make Jeff's exhortation my own, and I thank him.

Based upon quick calculations, this appears to be a size 56. Based upon your pictures, it is a beautiful hat.

Jeff, thanks for the clarification. I forgot to specify the approximate size.
I agree with you; it's a nice hat and has held up well enough to the present day.
I also think it's a mixed felt, but the sweatband would need to be raised, and the patient's condition doesn't allow it.

Resistol 3X BR 6 7/8 Black Resistol 3X HAND CREASED that has the normal Resistol liner but has BR *** Beaver on the sweatband & a label with "Felt Headwear By Byner Rolnick Division of Koracorp Inc Suggested $162 / Suggested retail $25 Mark up 46%
Full 55 & feels great B 3 1/2 Light Fine Felt

Would Koracorp be early 70's? I think they bought Resistol BN in 1969 & not sure how long they held it until it transferred again???

Interesting Label.
Very easy hat to wear with the 3 1/2 in brim.

S. J. Fraenkel Wien, "600", 58 cm possibly mid to late 1950s. The black Felt is of a medium weight and has a soft hand. The Crown has a lower profile with a medium width Band and Bow. The overall condition is excellent.

Open Crown

Ooopps, I did it again! Watching the darn hat for a week. Free return so only out $14 shipping if it's not right.

Resistol Tycoon 3X Beaver 6 7/8 , 3 1/4 brim in Granite Grey. I think it's an older hat late 70's or early 80's.
I saw the hat in wool for more money so taking a chance.

Not sure how Grey will look on me but I love the teardrop style & it seems like a hat that can be worn anytime/anywhere.

Hückel homburg black. Only a sizelabel inside, so not sure about the age. Don't know either where the number 2150/3 stands for. It's a very modest homburg. The crown is not that big/high. It's in a 100% mint condition. Felt is great. Payed 10 euro's for it, so i don't complain at all

I already have one of these, but at the price I couldn't resist.
Mossant Bayard in a blue colour called Orient. Size 56 with the raw edge brim at 6,5cm and the crown at 10cm at the front. Couldn't find anything on the retailer.

 

[steur]

Another recent find.
Panizza Fausto homburg in Palladio (grey). Size 57 with the bound brim at a good 6cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. A few small moth nibbles at the crown but other than that as good as new. Fausto wasn't a trademark that I have found in the registry for Panizza, so can't say anything else about that. Wonderful classic homburg and Panizza at their finest.

I normally take most my hat pictures in the early morning light so I dont have to deal with harsh sun or shadows, but this cute little Beaver Brand just got here and I cant wait! Noonday sun it is!

First off Im always a bit apprehensive about hats with no size tag, but in a message the seller said he wears 7-1/4 and its was a perfect fit. Happy to see it IS a 7-1/4!

Next is the "story".... this was supposedly worn in the Deadwood series... One of my favorite stories. Not sure if it was or not but it sounds good enough.

Hats in beautiful condition and I love the maroon-ish ribbon.... Different enough to be appealing to my eye.. even got shipped in a nice Bailey hat box. LOVE the curl. Would be nicer if it had a matching brim binding, but Im happy. Ill call this one a sucessful auction

Love this one, Rick!! Beaver did such a great job with these!

 

[mayserwegener]

Mayser "Grand Prix" "R", 58 cm, 154 grams, possibly late 1920s early 1930s. Made by Mayser Ulm for the Swiss market "Chapellerie Krämer Basel". Mayser Ulm Stiff Felts are difficult to find and this one is in excellent condition. I have five Mayser Ulm Stiff Felts and they all have the same width Bands and similar length Bows.

The Initials were removed.

The exterior size label is still present.

Love the side profile. Lovely hat!

With winter fast approaching I’m about ready to start streaming the 3 seasons again. I’ll keep an eye on hats of the extras.
