Wow! Mayserwegener has not been idle during his travels.

I want to echo TommyK's comment from November 11:

Mayser, I don't look at this thread everyday. I don't even look at it every week. I save it up for about a month so I can be blown away by the hats you show and the incredible knowledge and extra things you add. There are a few special people here who add so much and you are right at the top of that group. Well done, Sir!

I agree. Mayserwegener's energy, knowledge, incredible collection and beautiful photography have made "German and Austrian Hutmachers" one of the liveliest and most consistently rewarding threads on this website.

Hückel Weilheim - Kolhndofer, size 57cm, probably mid 1950s. It appears to be a mix of two hat companies, Hückel Weilheim (sweatband) and Kohlndorfer (liner). I know that Hückel Weilheim also repaired hats when they first started (they were in a small garage) so it could be from that time period although everything looks original. I am just starting to look into Kohlndorfer Hutfabrik Miesbach, Germany. This is a fantastic hat and a gift from ErWeSa(Wolfgang) which I met up with in Salzburg on my January 2016 trip to Germany, Austria and Italy. Thanks!

Steve,

Your photos and hats are one of the highlights of this forum. They are truly works of art and your depth of knowledge and willingness to share are an inspiration to this neophyte.

Thanks,
Joe
