It appears you are partial to grays.
Congratulations. I thought you would go for that, so with the 35 Euro shipping I didn't bid it up.mayserwegener said:I picked up this Hückel hat box. This is the first paper one I have encountered. I am not sure on the date (could be 1930s or older) but it does have felt protector which don't see with American hat boxes. Would have liked to see the hat that was in it.
mayserwegener said:Robert, Thanks! I really wanted this one for my gray (not the velour) Hückel Superior.
Hatophile, RP, MV, The problem with this one is the size. It is too big to ship from Germany to the USA for less based on the over all dimensions and I don't think I could get them to drop the price because it is a rare piece. It is the first one I have encountered so I was willing to pay some $. Usually I can get them to down size the shipping box but couldn't in this case. I am kinda of a master at this shipping stuff.
rlk said:Yes, this has been very frustrating! I've found many spectacular hat boxes on European ebay but the shipping is so costly

Older than the description, but not superfine weave. Early Fedora form.

It's chocolate with an antique gold ribbon.
I haven't had a chance to fix the colors yet
