Thank you for posting a photo of the paper label. It looks like "Whippet" next to "Form". I only have record of one other Stetson - Mayser "Whippet". It's possibly mid to later 1950s so it's an earlier one...- mayserwegener

Great to see! It was made by Mayser. Mayser Ulm had the Stetson license starting in 1954. Does it have a paper label?- mayserwegener

Nathan, Thank you too! I think it's "specially produced for" Carl Kellner Hamburg. Matt might have a better take if he sees this post. Carl Kellner Hamburg was a top retailer going way back so they had pull. Similar to Breiter München and some others. Interesting Side Note: I discovered...- mayserwegener
