Posted previously with bad low-light pics on "Post New Hats Here", but here's a midnight blue size 7 Scott & Co homburg, in what appears to be near-new vintage condition:

Mallory Ten Wide Brim Homburg

Wish I could keep this one because of the wide brim and soft flexible felt not stiff like a lot of Homburgs. Probably dates from the mid 40s after they were acquired by Stetson. I would keep it but I wear a size 7 1/8 - 7 1/4 so it's way too large for me. If anyone is interested I have it listed for sale in the classifieds. I use to own quite a few Homburgs but I just can't pull off the look. One of the most common questions I was asked when I was selling them was what was the brim width. Seems the majority of the inquires were from those looking for a wide brim 2 1/2" in a Homburg which are not as common as the short brimmed versions.

Courtney Homburg Tully's Hats, Omaha NE

Not sure if the hat model is called Courtney or that is the name of the manufacturer which was sold at Tully's or the hat was made by Tully's. If anyone has some historical info on this I would appreciate it. The hat has a 2" curled brim and 5 3/4" open crown which is wrapped in a 1 5/8 grosgrain ribbon. The liner is embroidered except for "Tully's Omaha". It has a wide 2" unreeded leather sweatband with a taped seam in back. The felt is soft and the brim is flexible and not stiff. I'm not sure of the age but it does have the Hatters Union stamp.

P-Sage - your post reminded me that I'd never posted a shot of my Courtney in the Courtney Hats thread. I have done so now and you might want to add yours.

I think yours is the first one we've seen that wasn't sold by Harry Levinson stores. In the Courtney thread is is suggested that Courtney might have been a trademark of Dalton Hats. My hat as the Controlled Brim mark which was a patent of Dalton it seems.
