EstherWeiss helped me get these two unblocked off white TONAK hat bodies. One is a velour which will be used for my wife's hat. The other one will likely be something for myself.

They are fabulous!

Thats good to hear. They're exactly the same or very similar to the body Esther used for my hat that's in customs...

Josef Vanis kloboucnik Vysoke Myto. No other labels found. 30-40's. Unfortunately not my size

 

[mayserwegener]

Interesting! Is there a paper label?

 

[Giftmacher]

Nope and I don't see any signs there ever been.

 

[mayserwegener]

I can't figure it out. It looks like the sweatband was repaired. Does it say anything on the liner logo?

 

[Giftmacher]

There is only a ruined lettering "Original"

Thanks for posting! It's rare to see any pre WWII B.B. Soft Felts regardless of size and condition.

 

[Giftmacher]

I'd take it, but it's not my size and I'm collecting other items. Fortunately the seller has a large selection.
