Mario, Yes I have an Austrian Velour addicition. This one actually fits too.

Quixote, Your Fritz Hückel looks fantastic! By the way Hückel Weilheim, Germany exported to the USA under Fritz Hückel Hutmacher. There were Hückel brand issues with TONAK (originally Johann Hückel´s Söhne) outside of Germany.

Manfred, Your Ottmar Reich boater is beautiful! I also really like (cool bow design) the Feiner Haarhut. Where did you find it?

 

[mayserwegener]

Mario Does he still have enough space for new Hats??

I had to move some into offsite storage.

 

[Chepstow]

Thanks Steve, the IKA Feiner Haarhut is a flea market find. Ill think it was a low Buged Hat from a Hat Shop. IKA is not a Brand name

Thank you! This hat was originally an import to Finland for a local hat seller.

From the photos the quality looks good. Is the liner stitched or glued?

 

[Chepstow]

The liner was glued Steve.

Thanks! Probably looking mid to late 60s.

Latest find: By pure chance, it's my 2nd German made Chisnall in 2 weeks (the last being a Homburg). I found it at the famous Mauer Park Flohmarkt in Berlin. The colour of this 'chamois' caught my eye 1st. My images don't do it justice - it's a sort of olive green/brown, but in some lights it leans towards orangey/brown, other times to a more golden colour. Never seen a hat this colour before! It seems to go with everything!

As indicated, I've come across this Chisnall make in Germany more than once. Does anyone know anything more about them? (mayserwegener?) At 1st I thought they were English, but it seems not to be the case...

I am not aware of them (could it be a men's store?) but I will look into it. The paper tag is all hand written which is interesting. Looks to be late 1960s or later.

Hello davidraphael, Hello Steve that is what i found on a bay Auction.
A paper label of a chisnall Homburger Hat Produced in Germany. maybe its help by identifying the German Hatterer.
The in a other Auction this Info. " CHISNALL – made in Regent Street-London "

 

[Chepstow]

David, you live in UK, maybe you can research who is in Regent Street-London a Hat Shop, Hatterer etc...
I think its a Licence Brand what was produced in UK and Germany maybe in other State to.

By the way, the Hat looks great!

 

[mayserwegener]

Manfred, I think the UK mention might be marketing related. This is a common marketing theme with 1960s German store model hats. I can't identify the GS or SG company but it is definitely German (could Austrian but I doubt it). I will see if I can come up with anything.

Good Evening Gentleman, a new find today.
A wonderfull Dobesch Präsident Homburger Size 58, stamped Sweat Band 1968, in a good condition.

 

[Chepstow]

a Rockel Dreispitz Trachtenhut size 55 a New Hat

 

[Chepstow]

a Mayser Sichelhaar Trachtenhut Size 60 its another New Hat

 

[mayserwegener]

Another great haul! The Dobesch is really well made for the time period. I know P. & C. Habig (also Austrian) were still stitching liners into the early 1970s. The Italians makers kept it going into the late 70s.
