Very, very nice Steve. I love the details. That's the first WPW I see. The logo makes sense for it to contain some beaver fur, I guess. The loden melone is also fantastic and unique.Wilhelm Pless Wien "Extra Qualität", 57 cm, possibly late 1920s early 1930s. This a really beautiful Stiff Felt and in near mint condition. This is my first Wilhelm Pless Wien so a rare find. The only other WPW is a Silk Top Hat found by Robert (RLK). It's possible the Felt is Beaver because it's very dense but could be a blend. The liner is really fantastic. The color (not sure what to call it plus color changes) and company mark are striking. The contrasting sweatband with gold embossed company mark are great too.
I have another beautiful Stiff Felt from the same store Ludwig Skrivanek Graz.
