I showed the Eagle stamp to an an occasional poster ( ErWeSa / Wolfgang ) here and he agrees that it's the Weimer Eagle.Matt, Thanks! I will have someone take a look at it.
I think this hat might be from the same source.

Does he have any opinion about what the wording might be around the Eagle, Steve? Perhaps he's come across something like it before.I showed the Eagle stamp to an an occasional poster ( ErWeSa / Wolfgang ) here and he agrees that it's the Weimer Eagle.
Steve, I didn't ask about the writing. Hopefully Matt can get a clearer photo. Here is a link I received.Does he have any opinion about what the wording might be around the Eagle, Steve? Perhaps he's come across something like it before.

Wolfgang, It's possible the paper spacers were added at a later time. I am pretty sure the hat was made by one of the factories in what became post WWII East Germany but it's common not to have a company mark even with a paper label. This one is similar. No paper label and no company mark. I have other examples.Hello Steve1857,
I wish I had! I was hoping the owner would be able to decipher something there. The Weimar eagle together with the Deutsche Wertarbeit stamp make it a 1930ies hat for me, perhaps it took its time until it was sold, the 1942 paper indicates a sale in the 1940ies.
Interesting brand "Panonia". Pannonien (double n!) would indicate the reagion of today's Hungary. I don't know whether there is a chance to find out more but would be glad if someone could.
Hi ErWeSa. Thanks for your post. Nce to hear from you. Your assessment fits with my thoughts on Matt's hat. It is a great find and one that has got our juices flowing. It's one of those finds that just keep us wanting to find out more. Hope Matt can decipher some of the lettering.Hello Steve1857,

Super finds and well saved. Who couldn't resist taking those beauties home. No need to apologize for the Lock & Co, I enjoyed seeing it [emoji4] [emoji145]Haven't posted for a while, as I'm not really a new media-man and had difficulties after the photoshop-desaster to find a way how to post pictures here, but it seems I succeeded at last.
Talking of flea-market hats, I found this nice Blum (which in reality is a Dermotta) for very little money (don't even dare to say how cheap it was) at a flea market where I live. There had not been any hats for years at this once good source for hats and I had given up hope to find one but last time I found three top hats - the silken, non collapsible ones, and this beauty which were such a bargain that I had to take/save them (they lay there in a heap, so that the toppers already had dents, what a pity!). Yet, this is something that happens only every 30 years (to me at least). Sorry for the Lock-topper which doesn' fit into this thread.

Matt, Yes I forgot to point that out. I haven't seen D.R.G.M. before on a JHS hat so it points to late 1930s early 1940s.Nice Bowler, Steve!
The DRGM stamp is interesting - leads us to pre 1945.
Even though you can of course date well with your knowledge anyway.
Matt, Great find! It definitely had a crease clip. I have some hats with similar construction. I am sure you are correct about it being from an Eastern company. Can you please take a closeup of the stamp? The inside is finished so it must had a crown patch. My guess would be 1930s but it could be later 1920s.
J. Hückel´s Söhne "Plume", 56 cm, 136 grams, possibly late 1930s. Great felt finish and the condition is excellent.
Okay, Matt, I'll start with the easy one: Giessen is a well known town in central Germany, so not East Germany.Here is the closeup, Steve: difficult to focus everything!
For comparison: this is what I suspect/guess!
Let's start the guessing game, guys!
