You look fabulous in Homburgs, so you can't have too many! Can't wait to see pics.

Some Recent Pickups

Poor quality photos but this size 59cm Mayser could turn out to be pretty nice especially for $16.00. Probably late 50s early 60s. I also picked the previously posted Doebsch Homburg and two other hats from this seller as a package deal.

This size 59cm Habig is probably late 60s early 70s.

Not a hat...

But... Blank Stratoliner Club certificates. See thread in Classifieds:

Habig Zefir

same seller as mayserwegener above.

$15.00 lot with a nice Velour.

What's the story behind those little brushes such as on the green hat above?

$15.00 lot with a nice Velour.

Did you buy that lot? I sent another lounger the ebay link and assumed he bought the hat.

In any case, should be a good hat if the moths haven't inflicted too much damage.

I have my first German hat arriving any day now - looking forward to it

What's the story behind those little brushes such as on the green hat above?

They are boar hair brushes and come in different sizes (some very large). They are hunt related and worn on trachten hats. The traditions goes way back in time. Dresipitz might be able add more details.

I had forgotten too.

I didn't see that Habig. It is definitely older than the one I picked up. What is the size?

That is a nice Miesbacher velour. I can't make out the hat company.

 

[zetwal]

I see now that they are tokens of the successful hunt. Thanks!

The velour appears to say SABA and Hut Seidl, München.

SABA is a new one to me.

First truly "vintage" Panizza I've seen. Won for 0.99 Euro, but unfortunately smaller than my head.
Mutinelli since 1888 with nice website:http://www.mutinellicappellimilano.com/fotogallery.html

Great Hat! I love Mutinelli. I went there 2 years ago and bought a couple of hats. My wife and I are going to Milano again this October and they are a must on my list of places to go. I might go to the Cervo factoy as well!

Wow, I never thought I see a 1980s (post-1972, at the oldest) Garland-made Cavanagh go for $200. $50, I could see, but not $200.

You reckon it was the size that made it go for so much?

That, and I also suspect the bidders didn't realize it's not a true Cavanagh.

Richman Bros. OR/Strat Clone

Scored this today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0&_trksid=m38&_nkw=360226573690&_fvi=1&_rdc=1

Looks to be in good shape, I hope the photo color is true-to-life, I love the copper ribbon and brim binding.

Any idea as to who made Richman Bros hats? Lee maybe?
