Thanks for the comments guys. Bowlerman, I would say the felt of this one is close to a "twenty five" quality hat not too heavy ,not too thin either , the brim is really nice and pliable.

Nice felt quality, color and condition. Taupe, equal parts gray/beige. No liner and much too small for me.

Anyone Ever Heard of Davis Hats?

My latest acquisition, a Davis 6X. By the style and construction, I'm estimating it to be pre-1955, probably 1940s. The crown is 4 3/4 inches and the brim is 2 3/4 inches. It's not in fantastic shape, as you can see, it's got a green spot on the front of the crown and the liner is filthy, torn, and droopy, but it's in my size (7 3/8), the felt seems to be pretty high quality, and it only cost $4.33 at an antique mall in Burleson, Texas. I'm probably going to try to give it a naphtha bath. I have thoroughly dusted it with a sponge and brush prior to taking these pictures.

Anyone here ever heard of the brand?

Perry, nice find and sharp looking Strat.

Robert, looks very good the new one!

R.C., never heard, but a nice find!

The VEB Luckenwalder Velour arrived today. Wonderful felt finish in a outstanding condition. I think rarely worn.
Size is a 56 and fits perfect. The age between 1953 - 1961. I found out, that HO Stalinallee, was foundet at 1953 and renamed 1961 in Karl-Marx-Allee

Before giving it a bath, I would send the hat to a custom hatter. Ask for a 2" ribbon to cover up the green spot. I bet someone would have a 2" brown, black, or other complimentary color. They can also attach a fresh liner and sweatband. That hat has a lot of potential. :thumb:
