I seriously can't believe I just bought this.....a NOS box of 24 hat crease clips. I didn't know stuff like this still existed. I have only seen these hat clips in Vintage American Hatter publications and several posted by Steve in the German/Austrian hat thread.

They are coming from Cyprus, so it might be a couple weeks before they clear customs. I am really excited to see these in person!

Fantastic! Dermotta (first photo) is Dermotta Wien.

It will be interesting to see the other company names.

I just received a German hat with a German Crease Clip!

Fantastic info, Steve!! Thanks! I didn't even notice the "Dermotta" name on the clips until you pointed it out. I have admired these clips since I saw your posts years ago, and I had hoped to find one. It was shocking to me that I would actually find 24 of them. They have had quite a voyage.....made in England.......for a German hatmaker.....somehow wound up in Cyprus....and now are on their way to the USA. If only they could talk.

Thanks! Again a fantastic find! I am very much looking forward to their arrival. Dermotta was actually an Austrian company. My guess is that a hat shop order these and had some made with hat company names on them. The clip that I posted above (also my other one) is most likely from Germany because it has the DRGM (Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster) mark.

TWO for One!

Two from The O'Farrell Hat Company of Santa Fe

They look like they could both be 100% undyed beaver belly.
Well a guy can dream, anyway!

Did you get the O'Farrells?

Did you get the O'Farrells?

Indeed I did!
Ya' just can't let a deal like that go past you, eh?

 

[BobHufford]

Congrats!

The leather banded one is from "The Man's Hat Shop" in Alburquerque,N.M. creation (I just discovered).
I was trying to ascertain the value so I called 'em up. I was told they would take a Stetson or Resistol capline and build a hat you your specs.
I have never heard of a hat shop working quite that way, maybe it's easier than saying just saying "Winchester felt in TN." as I guess that is the same felt Hatco. uses.

Pretty sure Hatco makes their own felt.
