German & Austrian Hutmachers

[mayserwegener]

Wonderful pieces Steve! Congrats.
After a long time abstinence here I have now a hat what it’s worth to post it! I post not more all my finds because most of them we have seen. Black Homburgs are black Homburgs equal which hatmaker and I found a lot of them in the past. [emoji16]
Today I bought a Mohair Pork Pie Hat at a fleamarket in Düsseldorf.
This wonderful piece is made by Reich and in great condition! Color is anthrazit a dark gray/black
Some Pics..

Nice find, Manfred. Looks like a fine felt and I like the ribbon treatment.

Very nice Porker Manfred! That finish is the icing on the cake. Great logos too.

Thank you Mike, you are right with icing on the cake

Stefan, Steve, thank you guys!
Not easy to find hats in great condition of Ottmar Reich. Most of them are hard worn.

Fantastic! Does it have a paper label?

Hi chaps been a while since last post, but here's a interesting Tonak Velour made for Dunn & Co i found last week. Actually i think it's identical to one Steve posted a while back, there being one difference, the hat size on the inside label has been hand written. Steve mentioned a date between late 40s early 50s if i'm not mistaken?...Does the hand written label make a difference to the date?...PS sorry about some of the Pics (Blurred)

Michael, Great find! I think it's from about the same time as mine (gifted by Daniele). I think it's a fairly early Tonak. My guess would be early to mid 1950s.

Good get, Mike. Very nice hat. Missed out on an auction recently for one like this. That did not go for a fiver though...

Stetson Excellent "Stratoliner", 58cm, probably later 1950s. Made by Mayser in Germany under license and is in NOS condition. The unique color is listed as Peacock. The color will show better in sun light. The lighter weight felt has a Chamois like finish and easily dry creases.
