    The seller says the box it was sent in is dated 1959. Im thinking it might be earlier because I thought they had switched over to just Dunn and Co. at that point. I might be mistaken though.

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Thanks Mayser and Bowlerman, the liner has it coming from Morgan and Ball outfitters. I'm pretty sure it was made by the same maker that made hats for Scott and Co and Woodrow and Co. amongst countless other firms.

    Are there any UK or European made stiff bowlers anymore?

    You'd be surprised at how many minty vintage bowlers are floating around on the bay. Aside from that, I'd also highly reccommend Bob at Black Sheep hatworks. He makes a wonderful bowler.

    Pretty rare to see one of these, it's a bone white rather than the traditional grey. Custom made for a stage show I believe.

    Thank you kindly gents, heres a couple of closer photos and the best I could find in terms of any kind of paper label. I used a velvet pad to get the nap in one direction in the fourth photo

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Just got this fuzzy grey bowler in. Hard to tell but it looks like fur felt over some kind of wool concoction. Very pleased to finally land one of these, the fates thwarted several previous attempts.

    Those older Christies are absolutely top notch, great score on that one made for the german market. Unique crown profile on them too.

    Its a NOS Cavanagh in a larger size with a larger brim width than you see on on most Cavanaghs. Its pricey, but for what it is its really not out of bounds and reason. Especially when people are content to buy the new excellent series from stetson at around the same price point.

    20's Borsalino Homburg. Mayser scored an equally awesome Borsalino from the same seller a week or so ago.

    Heres the sweat of the newest brown bowler a few posts up. This was a pretty awesome score, it's a 30/40's era judging on the crown height and quality of materials, and appeared to be unworn. Unfortunately the liner does appear to be missing so no info on who the maker of this fine bowler is.

    That really is a fantastic collection of melones there. That low crown silk plush one is just out of this world, and the grey one with the sharks gill ribbon as well.

    Beautiful derby Alan, fell straight out of time it looks like. Interesting liner on that crofut "gay prince" style, almost reminds me of a Cavanagh.

    On the left is one that just came in with the cork liner, seller was a bit off on crown measurements. This one is at 4 1/2". Its pictured next to a 30's stetson select quality.
