Here's a bumped up version. It's a little clearer, but leaves a lot to be desired.

Goldsiegel

Brad, Thanks!

NOS Goldsiegel in size 59cm. Very nice cord work and felt + color / finish. Early 1960s Trachten with Stetson style elements. This one is from the same store as the Rockel Wildleder.

Breiter Munich Velour

Breiter Munich Velour, back bow, brown, measures about 55cm. This is the sister hat to the Erko-Velour and also pre 1940. It's has heavy wear but the unique brown Velour is in good condition with no moth damage and the sweatband, ribbon/bow and liner are intact. Breiter still has their stores in Munich but now only makes women's hats.

Sweet lid, Steve! :eusa_clap

When I spotted these two hats on the German 'bay I had to think of you immediately and I would have PMed you if they had been your size; I really forgot that you're also collecting hats that are out of your size range...

Thanks! The brown Breiter back bow is heavily worn. It must have been a daily hat and the black Erko-Velour was for special occasions. I was watching them but didn't bid because they were not my size. When they didn't sell I just thought I would make an offer. The photos were really poor but I had a feeling the black Erko-Velour was really special which turned to be correct.

Your problem is that you can not host images on Dropbox.
You need to use Flickr or any other image hosting service.

Steve, Thanks for looking into it for me.
