Daniele, They are great! I really like seeing these old Hat Holders.Every so often I find some accessories of some old closed hats shop.
Here are two hat cones, one from the Cervo and one from Guglielmo Pasini from Monza
They are made of simple cardboard, they seem to be from the fifties, poorer as construction of the Barbisio that I had shown you some time ago
The hats stacked are not from the cones makers
Cervo are such quality hats and much underrated or perhaps more under the radar than Borsalino, Barbisio, Panizza etc.
That's another nice looking Homburg Stefan. Looks like it's from before Borsalino took over Vanzina but kept the name. I don't see the "Vanzina - styled by Borsalino" label anywhere.A brand we don't see very often. Vanzina homburg in nero. Qualitá extra, size 58, with the brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 11cm at the pinch. Very nice hand, but it wouldn't surprise me if it has some wool content.
Super hat, Steve. Underlines what a great hatmaker Cervo was back in the day. The colour, pork pie style, button side vents, thin rope ribbon with the bow flowing into the side, the art work on the liner and sweatband, not to mention the exquisite 5 ring stitching on the top and bottom of the crown all make it a joy to behold. It's a beauty. No one could walk away from buying that hat. Congrats.Cervo Gold Bantam "Piuma", 59cm possibly later 1950s. This NOS find is from Daniele and my latest visit to the M. Hutter find in Merano, Italy. The detail work is really fantastic and the felt is very light weight with side vents.

Great find, Steve and well put, Steve1857, so I'm going to go for a +1

Stefan, Thank you!
Tonio, Thanks! I forgot to note it was made exclusively from M. Hutter Merano.
Nice Cervo, Stefan. Great colour with contrasting ribbon. Super liner logo, too. The logo on the sweat is very reminiscent of Borsalinos ditto.Cervo in Diano colour, which is a nice little wordplay by them. Cervo meaning "deer" and "daino" meaning "fallow deer". Size 56, with the overwelt brim at 5,5cm and the crown 9,5cm at the pinch. Cervo is a manufacturer who made hats under other brand names too, among which was borsalino at some point. Hats under their own brand name don't come up all that often. This is a later hat by them. The crown is a bit lower and shows some taper, but that was a style choice.
