Dermotta Wien Homburg, size 58cm. I only have one other Dermotta Wien and it's also a Homburg. Probably late 1950s.
Rabbit, Great Homburg + original shipping box. It's rare to find the original box with these older ones. Also having the date stamp is a major plus (you see this mostly with English and German made hats).
I haven't come across any documentation that mentions anything about date stamps and not all hats from the same time period and manufacturer have them so I don't think we can say for sure.
GORGEOUS Scotts homburg, Rabbit!! I have owned several pre-1940 English hats, and I can honestly say that they are always of the highest quality. I have owned 3 Dunn & Co hats, and I have loved them all. I have never bought a Scotts hat, but after seeing your pictures, I'm on the hunt for one. Its wonderful that your Scotts and Roberts Scotts are both dated.
great Scott!
Thank you so much, Josh. So they are called Scotts hats, not Scott, is that correct? The black Homburg has Scott & Co as well as Scotts written on liner and sweat, respectively.
The felt quality on this one is nothing short of amazing. It's on a par with my Stetson Special Homburg from the late 1930s; the felt is softer (in fact, it's very soft by any standard) and more malleable which makes it appear more luxurious still. The finish is a little different; it's ever so slightly less sanded down, if that makes any sense.
