Great Homburg! Cappellificio Albertini - Intra was the first hat (1862) factory in Intra, Italy. The most famous factory from the area being Cappellificio Panniza - Ghiffa (1881). It could be early 1950s but I couldn't find anything on when Cappellificio Albertini - Intra closed operations.

I've decided to buy a black Knox Twenty Homburg on ebay. When do you think it is dated, which decade?

Looks great! It appears to have a shorter brim which is a nice alternative. My guess would be late 50s early 60s (based on style / construction) but I am not a Knox collector.

Thank you! Late 1950s, early '60s seems to be right. It does have a brown leather sweatband, which were supposed to be much more common before black became predominant during that same period, but the brim width was keeping in the style of the narrower looks of that time. It would be interesting to see if there is any evidence for the date of manufacture or the sale at the store, behind the sweatband.

Flechet & Tirard
These homburgs are in my collection from time, but I feel guilty 'cos I never show them to the loungers
They are both made in France during the fifties and sixties.
The Flechet is very close, less a low crown, to the "prototype" of the hat became famous as Homburg. The proportions are on the small side of this type of hat
The felt is black short haired finish, really malleable. Interesting the ribbon and bow.
The second is a Tirard more traditional in proportions.
I shaped it with the two pinches. I like homburg in this way
The felt is a little more stiff than the Flechet. It is a pearl grey with a grey/pinkish ribbon
In the next days they will arrive in French Hats and makers

Both are great but I really like Tirard! Great color and bow treatment! Do you have any liner / sweatband photos?

Curled brims are 6 cm. and crown at 11 cm. Ribbon is a melange between grey and pink
It was made by Tirard specialy for Chapellerie Meer that every years has its own hats collection.
The felt treatement is waterproof
Excellent finishing for an elegant frenchie homburg

Flechet noir
Flechet homburg in black short haired finishing felt.
It is small in size, very similar to a Lobbia, but not in the crown that is closest to the German forms form the beginning of the century.
Brims are 4,5 cm and crown is 11,5 cm. High ribbon and a particular bow.
It is another special creation made by Flechet for the Chappellerie Meer in Strasbourg
Also this homburg is finished to be wear under the rain.
The shape of the Flechet is very similar to the luxury German hats (then called homburg) from the end of 800'
