Martin, It was Milz & Co. Lindenberg I/Allgäu Straw Hat Factory at that time.@mayserwegener
Hey Steve,

Just read the recipient name...
Next curios mindblowing thing...
Why m. Mertés writes a letter to Mayser Milz & Co in 1916?
If Mayser bought milz in 1929 ...

Martin, I can't see the trademark to the left of "Deutsches ? Qualität" "Manhattan". Can you post a straight on photo of the trademark? Also is there a Paper Label behind the Sweatband or any other brand markings? What type of Hat is it? Can you post some photos of the Hat?View attachment 501250
Anyone knows? Got today.

Martin, Thank you for the additional photos. S. G. is W. & G. Schuchard, Giessen, Lahn. They were a Wholesaler, Distributor, Importer.
Could that be 'Inka-Qualität' - a reference to the felt and woven ribbon as a hat band?
Reminds me in its style of the Ottmar Reich hats of the sixties and seventies.
Very interesting items indeed, Matt. But, oh my, what a price!Just found: A great and very interesting convolute -
due to the price, however, I am out of this deal and like to let others go first...

How much great felt you could buy instead of the scrap metal!Very interesting items indeed, Matt. But, oh my, what a price!
Matt, Thanks for posting this. I came across these plates back in 2009 (see link below) but looks like new photos. They are really fantastic but as you point out too pricey. Also I already have shoeboxes full of print plates.Just found: A great and very interesting convolute -

Fantastic pictures on your website! Interesting, you found them in 2009 - almost 15 years ago - and still available: A miracle!Matt, Thanks for posting this.

Matt, I believe I saw them again a few years ago but no price reduction. Maybe we can start a non profit Hat Museum?Fantastic pictures on your website! Interesting, you found them in 2009 - almost 15 years ago - and still available: A miracle!
I can't associate the logo with a Hat Company. Do you have a link to the similar Hat you mentioned?Some time ago I postet a lining-logo, which was barely recognizeable and we were not sure if this is a big letter M or three men standing side by side with legs apart and top hats. Now this is solved, because I found another one: They are three guys with top hats. And it does not resemble an M.
This one is a dark blue "velour" hat, size 56. I put the velour in quotation marks, because this is - I guess - a woolen fake velour, like it was advertised as "like velour" back in the days, but much cheaper. It looks and feels very soft, but it has a very unregular and short hair, and with that is not shiny.
With a large brim of 6,6 cm and a not very tall and vertical crown of just 9 cm it's not what I wear. But it was to cheap to not take it. And I really would like to know, what a logo this is. Especially because it seems to be a well known manufacturer, if the two appearances of the same producer/vendor shortly apart wasn't by pure coincidence.
There's nothing behind the grey, unreeded sweat band but a big stamped "D". Also nothing behind the liner, which is not fast and so can be removed. The Hat band is 2,1 cm.
It all seems to me pre war. What do you think?

I'm sorry, I can't find it. But I still have the picture of the liner. But not of the hat itself. Probably because I was not interestet in the hat. But that could have been the case just because of the size. I should have taken more pictures!I can't associate the logo with a Hat Company. Do you have a link to the similar Hat you mentioned?
