Let's see if we can get this across the finish line today. Been through all the ones with a distinct individual name or the ones with Cappelli, Cappellificio or Cappelleria in the name. WHat is left I found searching through the placenames of the well known hat manufacturing centers.
Cappelleria Vimercati
There still is a Cappelleria Vimercati around, but their website states they go back to 1953, so probably not the same family.
That is it (for now). If I find more, or if there are hats discovered with trademarks posted here that we haven't seen before then we can always add to it of course.
Most of these early hatfactories were small compared to the major companies. Here are a few examples of what those factories looked like. Both were located in Andorno.
Grosso Valtz
Davella
And an example of early advertising by Cappellaro Valtz.
