The old footage is from this 1913 film by G. B. Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. (the other Borsalino).

I wish I could get more old cervelt. I have 2 but I want more.

mayser your hat has a paper size tag? your lid looks legit, but a lot of people were telling me earlier hat didn't use that. Thank you for posting this it really helps my research.

Age of this Diamante ?

Help, please ! Would like to know the age of this diamante twenty five, and am thinking there are some subject matter experts on this thread that can determine from the paper tag?

 

[mayserwegener]

Can you post front and side view photos of the hat?

 

[timeless]

Here are some images, hope this helps!

Here is one that looks more than a little bit like your hat, even from the same store, Baskin. Unfortunately the factory tag fell off the back of the sweatband, but the store price tag from Baskin says $18.95. Most of the other indicators look to be of similar vintage, I think.


What does the committee think?

 

[mayserwegener]

Both are very nice! My guess would be late 50s to mid 60s.

I would date the hat to around 1970. That was one of our best sellers. I kept one in my size!!

 

[mayserwegener]

Great info! I assume they were still using the Eulan Bayer label?

I feel vindicated, as that was my guess. Maybe a touch earlier, due to the price point?

 

[besdor]

Look under the liner for the white information tag. If there is no two digit date then it is pre 1974.

 

[mayserwegener]

What about the Eulan Bayer tag? Was it present circa 1970? This has nothing to do with Borsalino specifically.
