Steve, It's very thin so I tend to think it's probably Silk Plush. I didn't look into this in detail so I don't know how they verified this was Lincoln's Silk Top Hat.- mayserwegener

This is the Silk Top Hat Lincoln wore the night of assignation. As you can see it is not collapsible and has a flatter brim. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2014/sep/28/smithsonian-dusts-off-lincoln-artifacts/- mayserwegener

Yes, it was not collapsible. Also not what we would consider a Silk Top Hat.- mayserwegener

There were Silk Top Hats made in Germany and Austria post WWII. P. & C. Habig Wien were the last to make Silk Top Hats. They acquired the tools and stock from Spoorenberg in the early to mid 1970s. P. & C. Habig Wien made Silk Top Hats up to WWII. Here you can read about here on my website...- mayserwegener

Daniele, I will try to find the "Bantam" trademark status in Germany. I think your hat could be from the later 1930s early 1940s but can't say for sure.- mayserwegener

Daniele, Super! "M. W., B." is "Max Wiess, Berlin". Here is a similar paper label. Max Weiss Berlin page on my website. https://germanaustrianhats.invisionzone.com/topic/98-m-b-w-hutfabrik/- mayserwegener

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible", possibly 1930s. The smooth finish black felt is light in weight and very pliable. The off-white wide sweatband, gilded liner logo, and liner piping are more inline with JHS Stiff Felts. The overall condition is excellent. I found this Soft Felt back in 2017...- mayserwegener

Stefan, Thanks! It's definitely a lot of felt. :) Beautiful series of hats from you! I was happy to see the STECO "Echt Velour". I actually have a STECO Stiff Felt on the way.- mayserwegener

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Carl Ceschka Wien, Back Bow, possibly 1920s and a recent find. It has a very wide brim so it might be considered an Artist Hat / Sombrero. The Velour is more Soleil like and of a heavier weight yet super pliable. Plate: Carl Ceschka and sons, La Capelo, Vienna (1935)...- mayserwegener

Wayne, Thank you posting this B.B. "Ultima" too. I don't have record of it. It's a super looking Back Bow Velour. I also have this B.B. "Ultima" that I got from Panos. Not sure why I put later 1930s. It could be based on the paper label. I will have to look into this again...- mayserwegener

Wayne, This B.B. "Ultima" Is really fantastic. Great Velour color and finish. It looks like it could be from the later 1920s but could be a bit later.- mayserwegener

Wayne, Super! This is a fantastic "NOVA" Velour. I believe the "NOVA" Velour was unique to the French market. Great Velour finish and color. Also great form and wide Band / Bow. It's possible that it's later 1920s early 1930s. The paper label is a Type 8...- mayserwegener

Wayne, I don't believe I have encountered a Polish market JHS before. I wonder if it was made or came out of the JHS Skoczów, Poland factory (became PolkaP)? It's a great looking Prima Velour. Really like the color and finish. It has a Type 2 paper label...- mayserwegener
