German & Austrian Hutmachers

I don't see anything between J V, just a spot of dirt, maybe.

At the fleamarket today, found a Mayser trilby in fantastic condition:

The bright sun took away some contrast, but it's still in perfect shape and just needs a bit of brushing etc.

And another German or Austrian trilby I do not recognize; internet search gives no result:

These are all the pictures I have right now, as I do not have them with me at the moment. The "Nobleza" is made of an exceptionally soft and smooth fur felt, almost velours-like. The Mayser is your standard lined fur felt I suppose, not sure from which year. Both hats went for 5 euro. I will have more detailed pictures in a few days!

By the way, anybody recognize the Nobleza logo? Any info on the hat or hatmaker?

Nice find and great price!

I am not familiar with Nobleza. Antilope is the felt finish. If there is a paper label behind the sweatband it might be helpful.

The Mayser looks late 1960s or later. I can tell more if you can provide more details (paper label behind sweatband, glued liner, ect).

Thanks!

Here's some more pics of the Nobleza:

And the Mayser (which, on second viewing, could do with a wee bit of reshaping)

ofcourse, splendid hat find, a little treasure! Looks very good.

Mr. Cairo, nice hats. The Mayser is a 70s or later hat. Strato is a very common Model in the 70s 80s.
The Nobleza, that paper label is known to me but I forget the Name. Steve can help with the name!

 

[MrCairo]

Thanks Manfred! I'm quite happy indeed.

My fleamarket Trip today was successful. Found this nice Wegener Biber Pork Pie ind mid brown in
great condition. I guess he is from the 60s!

Very nice, Manfred. The ribbon treatments in this thread are an inspiration.

 

[Chepstow]

Bought this Faustmann too!

 

[splintercellsz]

Great finds, Manfred!

Some flea market, impressions! That is far the biggest flea market in Düsseldorf.
It took me 4 hours and saw only the half of the market!
I saw a lot of hats, a Resistol 4x Shantung in Size 7 5/8, also many Ausseer and Trachten Hats, and many Top Hats.

Great fun Manfred! Looks nothing like the stuff at our local flea market.

 

[Chepstow]

Alan, Mike and Justin, thank you all!

 

[ManofKent]

Looks a great day out Manfred. Nice finds too, especially that pork-pie.

 

[Chepstow]

Richard, thank you! It was indeed a great Day! Great weather too! Now the flea market season begins. Lol

Manfred, Congrats on the successful haul! I think the Wegener Biber (Beaver) is more late 50s. It's a really high quality made hat! It's the first Wegener I have seen with a sweatband cord. Is the model name "Cannera"?

 

[Chepstow]

Thank you, Steve ! You could be right with the Age. The Name is Carrera.
Indeed high Quality and a lovely work! The liner is also new for me.
