Third time this lot has been put up for sale on a Swedish auction site. The first two times, it didn't meet its minimum bid. Each time the minimum bid was lowered. I finally won it today.
To be honest, I think I was the only one bidding :)
It's been a while since I've bought a Topper...
1940s Antonin France Super Luxe Homburg. Originally sold in the wonderful hat establishment of A. Meer, Strasbourg.
Its dark blue colour is hard to catch.
Thanks Stefan.
There was I, thinking I'm in your wife's good books for divesting you of hats, now I find I'm in the dog-house for buying her favourite.
You just can't win :cool:
Finally took the P&C Habig Homburg out for a spin today.
Looks more grey in the late afternoon November light than its actual more sandy grey like colour as seen in Stefan's original photos.

So pleased with this...
The P&C Habig Homburg arrived last week.
Here's a link to Stefan's original photos and description of it:

So happy to have this one in the collection. Thanks again Stefan!
"Superbe" is definitely the right superlative for your Mayser, Steve. The sweatband looks as soft and supple as the felt.
Great overall shape and dimensions. What are they, btw?
