Anton Peschel Dinkelsbühl "Garmisch", made for Marshall Field & Company, size 7 1/4, excellent condition, probably very early 1960s. Very nice Velour finish and great detail work especially for this time period.

Very sharp Steve, indeed a excellent detail work! The condition is terrific too. Great find. Congrats my friend!

 

[mayserwegener]

Manfred, Thanks! The workmanship / quality is very high. The US hat companies had already gone downhill at this point.

Very nice steve love the forehead cushion detail on the sweatband simular to Borso's

 

[mayserwegener]

Ed, Thanks! Yes similar vent system. The quality / workmanship was also on par with Borsalino from that time period.

 

[splintercellsz]

Very nice Peschel!

Justin, Thanks!

Very elegant Steve, brown or black? The corrugation almost looks like leather.

 

[mayserwegener]

Mike, Thanks! It's a rich dark brown. The corrugated vents could be made of leather.

Great condition, and as already noted, some lovely details.

Brüder Böhm "Luxor", size 6 Point, pre 1940. I believe it's made of wool or at least has some wool content. It's from a Czech source. Do not know the meaning of "Decateered" (any ideas?). I believe my Brüder Böhm Velour is the only other pre 1940 soft felt so this is a rare find.

Beautiful hat! I love the wide ribbon.

 

[mikespens]

A real dandy Steve, congrats!

 

[mayserwegener]

Mike & Joel, Thanks!

Props to Robert (RLK) for the meaning of "Decateered".

Steve, beautiful hat, the Böhm, a rare find too. Great to see so an old treasure!
I was on the flea market today and I found a really nice Mossant, like a Homburg and an old Wegener Colonel in an outstanding condition!

Manfred, Thanks! Looking forward to your flea market haul!

Richard, Thanks!
