G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. <1936

[Chinaski]

The Borsalino story in brief. Giuseppe Borsalino and his brother Lazzaro founded Borsalino Giuseppe e Fratello in 1857. Giuseppe died in 1900 and Teresio Borsalino took over. In 1905-6 cousin Gian Battista raised money and founded another company G.B. Borsalino fu Lazzaro & C. During the Depression business became a challenge and G.B.Borsalino fu Lazzaro & C. was absorbed by the original(Antica Casa) Borsalino Giuseppe e Fratello SPA which continues to this day although the family sold the business in the mid 1980's.

Possibly. When I owned it I was thoroughly unable to convince myself of an accurate date.

Off white or light tan Borsalino fu Lazzaro, 1920's.

p.s. This is a great catalogue. I can't remember from the other Borsalino thread when GB fu Lazzaro was finally taken over by the antica casa lot. It was in the early 30s, I recall, after the great depression had bitten hard.

I posted this on the BB thread but thought it fit here too. Obviously newer, I believe by the price tag it is from the 1960's. According to Wiki The Kleinhans Co, a mens store in Buffalo, NY was sold to the Hartmarx chain in 1967. Maybe nostalgia marketing?

Hard to read the sticker but it appears to read "Folco" ? and the second word is unreadable:
