Circa 1930's Green Hückel Durit

More details and better photos to come once it arrives from Grünhainichen

This is a very nice "Stratoliner" clone, fairly soft, nice to touch velt and bonded edge.
Don't know if "Danubius" is the model or brand. Not much left of the original tag. I presume from 1950-60's.

Very nice, Georg. Good catch.

Great find, Garrett (even if it is green). looks to be in great shape too.

I forgot Stefan does not like the green. This color seems to be the only one I'm missing from Huckel (black, blue, brown, burgundy and an assortment of greys have already been acquired). Hopefully, it will clean up nicely and is larger than the 53cm the seller quoted it to be.

Garrett, It's fantastic! I am looking forward to seeing more when it arrives. I have a variety of JHS Greens but this one is the most brilliant. :)

Hello Gentlemen, It’s long time ago that I post a Hat here but today I have a nice Homburger for you.
The Brand name is Castor, maybe a Retailer Brand or a unknown Brand I am not sure. The sweatband is in superbe Condition also the hat itself. The brim is ca 6,5 cm and the size 59!
A fine gem. from the 50s

Recently aquired an A.Brieiter Munchen during my recent trip to Germany. While visiting the most beautiful city of Bad Aibling in Bavaria for my cancer treatments, I happened upon this little second hand shop selling German clothing. They had only 1 hat in the store and it had my name on it. Fit perfect, feather and birds foot at no extra charge. A whopping Eur 30 and it was mine.;)

Manfred, Great find! I think you are correct about a retail brand Castor/Beaver. I have seen a similar paper label format but of course no company info. I need to make a photo list of such labels + hats.
