1930s Westminster with frayed bow end and unusual "ridges" on either side of the crown.



This one was probably new old stock before I got it and accidentally scuffed the brim binding.

1930s Dobbs "Leisure Light" with "Improved Cavanagh Edge" and elasticized wind trolley cord.




(I've posted both these before on different threads, but I thought they'd fit in here too.)

Both hats are awesome, but that Leisure Light is absolutely stunning!! That's a bucket list hat for sure!

Private label dress hat for Rogers Peet Company

Very nice quality felt and materials in this hat which likely dates from the 1930s - perhaps a little earlier. The Boston store of this NYC company dates back at least to 1925. It needs to be spruced up with brushing and steam. Very flat brim flange. No indication of manufacturer - no union label - no price that I can read on the RPC price label. Apologies for the mirror reversed photo. 5 3/4" crown, 2 1/4" brim.

SUPER, Alan!! Gorgeous example of a classic early-mid 1930's styled fedora!

P. & C. Habig Wien Velour. This one was missing the liner and ribbon so had it restored by Optimo Chicago. Could be from around WWI.

J.Hückel´s Söhne / Jaques Mayer "Standard", size 58cm, Brim 3 1/2 inches, Crown 6 inches, excellent condition, probably 1930s. This is a collaboration with Jaques / Jacques Mayer Hutfabrik (Hat Factory) Bratislava.

These photos show the color better.

M.W.B. (could be Max Wiese Herrenhüte G.m.b.H, Berlin) Stolzf. Luxury Velour, Stone Gray, measures 58cm, 2 3/8 inch brim, 5 1/2 inch open crown, very good condition, probably 1930s.

Bernward Leineweber, Berlin C Alter Köllnischer Fischmarkt, 1900

Bernward Leineweber, Berlin C Alter Köllnischer Fischmarkt, 1935

The building (Derfflingerpalais) was destroyed in 1944 and demolished in 1959.

Das Derfflinger-Haus am Köllnischen Fischmarkt machte der Große Kurfürst seinern erfolgreichen Feldherren zum Geschenk. Das 1567 erbaute zweistöckige Haus baute Nering dem Generalfeldmarschall zu einem dreistöckigen Palais um, das vor der Jahrhundertwende das Bekleidungshaus Leineweber übernahm, Das Haus wurde 1944 zerstört und 1959 abgetragen.

Nagy Hut Wien XV1 Homburg. Measures about 58.5 cm. Could be late 1920s early 1930s. Nagy Hut is a famous hat store in Vienna which is still in business today. I am not sure who made (paper label only has model numbers) this one for them but I think it's a real nice example of the style.

Wow, Steve, the finishes on the Habig and the Wiese are incredible.

I never find hats like that at my fish market!
