Super!

Scott - suits you well. Nice find.

Scott I like the crease and the "compact" shape. It is more a Lobbia (Italian way to say Homburg, but not the same hat. The discussion could start ). Very nice!

Scott, that looks great! Super score!

Thanks everyone, I am very happy with it. I am even happier to find a hat on eBay that fits my LO noggin.

Daniele, Tommy and Scott, great looking Homburgs guys. Nice finds too.

Biltmore was bought by Drofman Pacific and was moved to the Milno Hat Company plant in Grarland TX just down the street from Hatco.

Mayser Spezial, size 57cm, probably early 1950s and it great condition. Fantastic Homburg in less common dark blue and measures about 58cm.

Beautiful, Steve! Is the crown a little lower than most? It has a nice boxy appearance.

Jeff, Thanks! You are correct about the crown height. It's about 5 inches open.

French Tirard made for the German market. I assume 1930's.

Another fantastic find! I think you are correct on the dating. Also sold by A. Breiter München (I have many vintage hats from them) which are still in business today.

Great find Fastuni! That one looks to be in excellent condition!

 

[Fastuni]

Thanks guys. It really is in outstanding condition (also the ribbon and brim binding).
As with the other small sized hats I posted, please don't hesistate to contact me if you are interested.

German brown "Homburg" hat size 60.
Very tall and full crown - medium wide ribbon.

Made by Rockel. It has only two paper labels: one handwritte nreading "2" and another one with the size 60.
The sweater leather is ultra-thin and reads "real Rockel hair (fur)".

I would appreciate your input on the dating.
I'd place the date at late-30's, but maybe it is already early post-war.

Gorgeous.

Gorgeous.

Indeed! And close to my size... sigh. Enjoy!

Two more vintage German Homburgs in size 60 cm. This time light grey.

The older one is labelled as "Prima Haarhut".

The second one is a 50's Wegener.
