WOW....those straw beavers are the rarest of all.....I understand the regular beavers keep eating them:eek:, thereby keeping the population low....:rolleyes:
M:D
I have tried looking up both patents and copyrights of the name but to no avail, which is quite puzzleing as SOMEONE should have at least copyrighted the Churchill Hats Ltd. name...
I am quite familiar with the Byer-Rolnick history (which started as a regional brand) and can identify their use...
Welcome and GREAT FIND. This would be a post Stetson acquisition of Mallory (1946) and would date late 40's early 50's looking at it...looks in really good shape too!

I have seen some that look late 40' early 50's......MAY have started out with Neiman Marcus private as a label earlier, as I have seen some hats like that (one is in the Churchill Thread). I have seen Churchill boxes with a New York address and terms like ""Unmistakenly, the Finest".....so...
Thanks Steve,
As the sweat is specifically marked "made in Germany" may I presume it was specifically made for the export market?
When it arrives I will try to photograph the blocking tags.....
The velour looks awesome....cannot wait to feel it in my hands....
Yes, tag looks like store tag...
Yes, my understanding is Churchill Hats was bought by Byer-Rolnick in the 1950's. They later added the "Ecuadorean" label to the line by the early 60's ......so that busines card would predate that acquisition. Image is from a 60's stock certificate image online......

PS did they not aquire...
I hope it says 7 1/2 :rolleyes:......and aparently sold for 8.50.....now whether dollars or some other currency....who knows ? The $ is a bit wonky.......
M;)

BEAUTIFUL HAT DD! Brent did well by you!
You will make it awesome to behold I am sure!
YES.......mine too.....with thin soft felt as DD describes.....in OR configuration.......THEN I think that will be it.....THE LAST HAT I BUY!:eek::rolleyes:;)

Also Churchill Ltd. Hats, while they were available in a limited way in a few men's wear and hat stores (most notably Capper & Capper) were largely exclusive to Neiman Marcus Stores.
M
This one is on it's way.......these are from the seller.....will post additional when it arrives! Please feel free to chime in on what it is...;) I presume with the "made in Germany" it is for the export market....

Here is a Wormser three fold to show us how to tie our ties.....from late 40's prior to 1949. Includes store locations, note the planned opening of a Kansas City, MO location as well as a store in Buffalo, N. Y. in 1949. Also note on the reverse Windsor knot page it denotes some prices on hats...
