Pre 1940s dress hats

F. Witzleben Leipzig

I am not sure if it was made by F. Witzleben or contracted. The paper label doesn't have any company mark. My guess would be 1920s. Size 57cm and weighs 140 grams.

C. W. N (German company) "Liberty", wool, measures around 58cm, probably early 1900s.

We'd ALL like to know, Perry. But since Steve is so great about posting copious photos, we're a lucky bunch!

Truth be told, I think they're all CGI.

I don't even understand how any of this is possible

it's official ... none of Steve or Alan's hats are real until I'm standing in the room personally sniffing each one..... individually

I may need to go back to New Era caps

TOO FUNNY! Just TOO!!!!!

George M. Wilson The Mens Store Inc. Homburg (size 7 3/8) up in Pittsburgh. Nothing on the paper label that points to the company that made it. The price was $6.00. Could be late 1920s early 1930s.

Old German or Austrian Velour. It might be pre WWI but no manufacturer mark. The crown was over 6 inches open. I am not sure if it had a liner.

 

[mayserwegener]

Elegant & Leger German or Austrian black (with some other colors mixed in) Back Bow Velour. I can't make out the coat of arms (help appreciated) but probably Prussian or Hapsburg. The Velour is thick & plush with a wide over welt. There is no paper label or company marks but possible this one is from around WWI.

Coat of Arms?

Owner?

 

[mayserwegener]

German Velour, probably from around WWI, could be a Bradenburg maker. The sweat and liner have some damage but everything else is fine. A very nice old Velour!

 

[mayserwegener]

G. M. (could be Georg. Miech Haydnstrs. 37 Dresden) probably late 1800s.

King Albert of Saxony - reign 1873 - 1902.

This appears to be the original packing paper.

ATEHA or H. C. & Co., 57.5cm, sold by A. Spanke of Münster, probably 1920s / 1930s. Clerical hat for Bishop?

 

[mayserwegener]

C. G. Wilke (Guben) Melone, size 59cm, probably 1930s.
