Intra is the larger town before Ghiffa (Panizza) on Lake Maggiore. The oldest + largest factory in Intra was Albertini (older than Panizza). I am not aware of Martinelli and if they were a factory. What does it say above Intra on the liner? Daniele might have some information. Here is a photo of the hat factories in Intra as of 1895.

WELL.................the hat arrived.....and as with so much Ebay stuff.....it WAS NOT MY SIZE:(:mad::(:mad:.....do not know how they managed to be so far off in their measurement but it was not one, but 2 (TWO) sizes too small. BUT, it is an awesome hat in a kind of heathered really dark, dark brown (I suppose Dobbs had their Gamebird name for the color) and it looks and feels great. About a 5 1/4 open crown and a 2 3/8 under-welt brim. It has the blocking tag and is clearly a 7 1/4 and measures as such. Liner is sewn in and has the great embroidered silk game-bird logo. I am going to press up the liner and steam and brush the hat up......AND when I am done admiring it as well as crying that it does not fit me:rolleyes:.....I suppose I will list it here....;)
So much for my bucket list find.........:(:rolleyes:;)
Best,
M

The bad news is it is too small for you. The good news is it will fit me. [emoji14]

The Navy 3x beaver Resistol was to be delivered yesterday but something when wrong and ended in a wrong place.
The black Stagecoach have cleared customs in London so should arrive next week.
The dead chicken was spotted in Miami Airport.
Ha, I was wondering about the location of the dead chicken. Hope you don't have to wait much longer.
