Seems like I've seen this tip logo before. Maybe it is just the knight's helmet. I'll get on the Plaza Hats, maybe we can do some dating from that.

I have only one other Homburg besides this Stetson St Regis which came in the mail today. Not a style I wear often, I am warming to the look slowly after a few years...
This has been worn, but well cared for. Clean, very nice felt, it is also my first Royal Deluxe in a vintage Stetson. I love the original liner found in the St Regis. Unfortunately, this one has been replaced at some point and this crisp, clean replacement was taped into place with millinery/fabric tape; not sewn as an original would be. The price was right, though.
It came open crown but easily/naturally creased to a diamond with medium front pinches. The standard center dent without pinches didn't work well and seemed forced, so I let the felt go the way it wanted.
The color is close to pecan beaver felt, but with a nearly, subtle moss green hue to it. The crown ribbon closely matches the felt, but the brim binding is more of a contrasting tan/light bronze color.
What a great Homburg! Is that a violet ribbon? It looks incredible.
It is a sweet 'Burg. Did some preliminary searching for the Hatter in NY. Need a deeper dig.Thanks so much for the possible lead...I'll do some research too! Obviously, there were an unlimited hatters during the 40s-50s - known and unknown! Couldn't resist the price and the apparent quality!

Yup. I did as well. The address is now a newer building that has a pharmacy store at the address. The area is now considered a part of Chinatown.It is a sweet 'Burg. Did some preliminary searching for the Hatter in NY. Need a deeper dig.
Happy to have made another one. First time I made this one it had the same mix of colors. Currently sourcing 52 mm ribbons to make it stand out even more. SVEN HOMBURG. 5 inch crown, 2 inc brim. Fully customizable if someone is interested.
