Nice Hückel homburg. One size smaller.

Nice Hückel homburg. One size smaller.

Wonderful Homburg. Interesting color of the sweat band. I like it.

Nice find! It's pre WWII. Did it have liner? If you get a chance please post it here.

I don't think so, once there was some label glued in the inner part of the crown.

Thanks, I wonder if a visit of the hairdresser will help me to wear it

Currently bidding on this one. It looks like nice, unworn homburg

I do not believe that hat is either unworn, nor a Homburg. Good luck with your bidding.

Well, maybe not unworn, but condition is damn well for starting price12 USD. If it's not homburg, what it is then?

Looks like an old velour dress hat. Great looking hat, but it does not have the curled and bound brim of a homburg. Either way a super find. I love the look of it and the ribbon and bow treatment especially.

Thanks for enlightenment. So I guess this is the same.

Didn't mean to disparage it. It looks like a very nice soft felt, possibly velour that has had some wear. I think with some TLC, it'm be a great hat.

Especially for that price.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

That's hard to say actually. The picture does not show the brim well enough to say if it's a homburg or not.

Looks great! I have to look into Gustav Reiner. I can't make out anything else on the crown patch. Can you? It's a Velour and has an heavy Over Welt brim so mostly worn brim up similar to a Homburg. Hope you win it.

I guess I put it in the wrong section, isn't it rather German? Found the photo of label in the auction:

Thanks! It's Made For so maybe the Hat Company that made it is on a paper label behind the sweatband. I will have to see if I can find anything on Gustav Reiner. This hat is prior to WWII so most of the Czechoslovakian Hat companies (JHS, AP, BB, OFH, ect) were still Austrian / German owned. The only Czech owned Hat Company that made Velours was Janyška & Cie.

I thought I will just wait for the end of auction (two days left), but I wrote to seller again. I'll let you know.

What about this one? Perhaps it will need brim reshaping. Good thing it's my size.

Here's a nice Hückel bowler for nice price, too little for me

It's rare to come across an old B.B. Soft Felt. It's made of Wool so more of common man's hat.

It's a nice one but too small.

I guess the brim is ok in the end.
