Langenberg / Beaver Brands
Here is my earliest "Beaver Brand" hat. I feel it is from around 1970 or so (it does not seem to be from 1980, and trade mark not withstanding I still think they started the beaver line around 1970 as they initially used much of the same designs in the logos (just replacing "Lion Hats" with... -

Langenberg / Beaver Brands
Early to mid-1930's.......has a really wide (just over 2") non-reeded textured sweat with taped joint. Very tall crown with narrow brim reminiscent of the 20's......Very nice sort of short hair finish on this one.......bow is offset to the rear though not as much as the 40's version... -
Langenberg / Beaver Brands
Here is a early to mid 40's "Whippet" style......or "French Bound" as they said in the trade.....I DO have the awesome RED liner with gold stamped tip.....I had to take it out to condition the sweat as it (and the whole hat) was a restoration project....while the finish is rough looking, I WAS... -

Langenberg / Beaver Brands
You are missing my point........Langenburg Hat Company was around for quite a while.....while "Beaver Brand" is quite a new creation by ANY comparison......and it confuses the issue and is misleading with people thinking "Beaver Brand" as a trade name has existed since 1860......... Compare... -
Langenberg / Beaver Brands

Langenberg / Beaver Brands
"Beaver Brand" was not around in 1860......it is a relatively a new trade name.....created by Langenburg Hat company. Saying it was around in 1860 is trade hype the same as HATCO saying THEY have been around since 1865 because they "own" Stetson or since 1817 because they "own" Malory........ -
