J. Hückel´s Söhne Velour, measures 59cm, probably 1930s. Missing the liner but rare greenish Velour. Not sure of the model because the paper label is damaged. Same seller as the Elastic Melone.

I think it has some green & blue in it too. It changes depending on the lighting. Also there is the dirt and fade factors from heavy wear. I will take a photo of it outside today.

I think these outdoor photos better represent the color and finish of the hat.

I believe this hat was made for the domestic market. It has a very durable sweatband (haven't seen a JHS one like this before) and ribbon.

Gärner Wien Melone, size 58cm, probably 1920/30s. This is a wool blend stiff felt. Interesting liner with branch and factory addresses. This is a company listed in Österreichisch Hutmacher-Zeitung but never come across one of their hats so a rare find.

Georg & Johann Gärner are listed as paying members of Wiener Hutmachergenossenschaft. At this time no other information available.
