Don't know why I missed these, Bill, but these are superb hats! Congrats are in order. The lighter coloured one is my favourite: quite rare those.I finally got around to picking these up yesterday.

Good looking hat and nice to see a rare brand here. I'm racking my brain if I've seen a hat of this brand before.Black Homburg: Rival - Gerardo Riva & C. - Monza - never heard of it
MARCA DEPOSITATA on the liner - MARQUE DEPOSÉ (French!) on the sweatband
1950's (?) - sold in Aachen (Germany) by H. Wisgens - possibly a mix of fur and wool felt
Pellie, not a brand I'm familiar with. Do you have access to better photos? If it's something you're thinking of buying, buy it cheap.

Sounds like a good buy. Looking forward to more photos.I bought it for 25 euro's including sghipping. I think it's a fair price. When i received it, i will post some pictures of it.
Never seen the brand before, but at that price it's always worth a go. Should clean up nice.
Lobbia Borsalino Qualità Superiore size is 6 or 7 3/8 US
A perfect homburg in a grey shades, with a contrasting ribbon in a deep grey, brim ribbon of the same color of felt
The proportions are as follow: curled and bounded brim at 5 cm. Crown at 11 cm.
Felt of medium weight, color is "Bario", Ribbon is "Asphalt" made in 1986
Excellent conditions, it has two stars on the sweatband, but no name where it was sold
A classic homburg in a very elegant shape and colors
I agree with Steve's assessment!Daniele, It's fantastic!
That is one great catch, Stefan. There is so much to love about it that it's hard to know where to start.While we're doing well with the homburgs, let's keep going. I actually forgot I won this until the package showed up. It caught my eye because of the way the felt looked (and it was cheap). It doesn't disappoint.
Hückel Melé homburg in a dark grey heather felt with a semi-longhair finish. Brim sits at 5,5cm and crown 11cm at the center dent. There is more taper than usual on this hat, which is why I put these old-fashioned looking side pinches in it. Gorgeous hand to the felt and the liner is still sewn in. It doesn't have the usual Hückel Welheim size tag and hanging cord. Early sixties would be my guess.

PUR POIL is French for PURE FUR/HAIR
Could it be a Canadian Brand?
