Bought this, was anightmare buyer didn't accept payapl so had to send cash (to Germany) was advertised as a 6 - 6 1/2 ... luck ran out it's a 5 then he charged me 30 euro postage which he didn't refund and put it in the smallest box imaginable!

Anyway date stamped 1957, Echter Borsalino with beautiful brim binding, more photos in the classifieds but a really lovely hat

Fantastic Echter Borsalino! By the way it was made in Italy for the German market. Borsalino used "Echter" for the their German market hats.

Richard, Thanks!

Vintage Mohair hat by Lord, Sonderklasse

Love the Ribbon on this one ! Haven't seen a Lord hat before .

Manfred had / has a Lord branded hat but the photos are missing so maybe he can post them again. This post by Robert (RLK) shows some old posters.

I don't recall finding anything about Lord. They don't come up any lists so maybe it was a brand name and not a hat company. Does it have a paper label? Is the liner glued?

 

[ManofKent]

Great Ribbon on that Lord. I've seen the odd one on ebay.it but know nothing about them.

 

[yttclothing]

The only thing I've seen is a Poster for Lord which his rather pricey (but original) It's a glued liner so I'm guessing 60's? It feels a early 60's did they use glue in the late 50's?

This is the paper label

Nice Hat Paddy!

That was my Lord hat!

 

[ManofKent]

Lord certainly went through interesting ribbons during that period.

 

[Chepstow]

Indeed Richard!

 

[mayserwegener]

Manfred, Thanks for posting the Lord photos!

Paddy, Thank you for posting the paper label. I can't place it.

I have no idea who made these "Lord" trademark hats. I would guess the trademark traded hands over the years. I will have to see if I can find anything.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Store Display, probably 1930s. It came from an old Milwaukee, Wisconsin store.

 

[ManofKent]

Steve - that's a great addition to your fine collection!

 

[Chepstow]

Wonderful find, Steve! That is a great piece for your Collection .
