Hello lovers of Borsalino.
In a time of troubles and changes for the Antica Casa di Alessandria I will introduce you a piece of its history.
With the help of Kuki (Cristina) who sincerely thank for her alert on eBay I bought this piece of what I think to be a piece of furniture of an old hat shop

This is the extent reproduction, almost real, the same "trophy" that contains all the medals won by Giuseppe Borsalino factory from 1857 until 1939. It is an oval whose 59x46 size makes it nice as a reminder of a golden time for the Italian hatters.
The original can see in the photos that Steve (mayserwagener) did a year ago, when together, we visited the Borsalino.

Daniele, Super! Props to Cristina! It's similar to this one at Borsalino (from our visit) but I think gold is more impressive.

Wow! Impressive, Daniele. I agree with Steve, the gold is striking. Are they "real" coins? Not necessarily gold, but metal coins? That would look nice in any location.

Congratulations! And a hat tip to Cristina!

Thanks for your appreciation
The medals are a thin "golden" metal.
It is very shining piece of forniture from an old shop.
It came from Germany, but there is no other indications.
I will find a place on the walls of my studio
Cristina deserves a special thanks and a gift when she will be in Italy

This is truly beautiful Daniele. It would be fun to research each of these medals and see what style of hat won the award.

The companies usually displayed a series of hats (Stiff Felts, Soft Felts, Silk Top Hats, ect.). I have some reports from Austrian hat companies.

I believe there are some American reports mentioned here of Expos. I haven't seen any photographs of collections.

[Daniele Tanto]

Where can I purchase such a piece?

I really don't know, sorry. Mine was a lucky find (thanks to Cristina)
As I stated it is, 90%, part of forniture of an ancient hats shop, probably in Germany
You live in USA so, the best, is to enquire junk shop in your area

Congratulations....Extraordinary!

Thanks bird!
