Hey all!
Here's some pics of the Hückel and Rockel that arrived yesterday in the Second Great Netherlands-California Hat Exchange. Stefan has posted them beautifully in the German and Austrian Hutmachers thread, and his photography skills far exceed mine, so I will let his work speak for them in the archives.
Here's some sunlight pics.

This one resisted a pinch, even with the negotiating skills of the Jiffy, so I decided to let it be traditional.
Head shot:

Here it is with it's travelling companion.

And just the Hückel:

Like I said to Mike, that bow plucks my heartstrings like a washtub bass!
Best part about the trade is knowing three nice vintage lids are now back in use and being enjoyed rather than on a shelf gathering dust.

New arrival! Stetson Standard Quality. Whew! This one kinda sorta fell into my lap...Steamed and orange brushed...Open crown about 5 1/2. Brim 2 1/8 (I have a feeling it was trimmed), 2 inch supple sweatband, and man oh man, that felt is shaped with no steam!











Be still my heart!!
Likewise!
Nice old Stetson. Whether it was trimmed or not, a cool piece. Love how the old felt handles.

that is absolutely gorgeous !!!

looks to be of 1930s vintage

and I do not believe the brim has been trimmed ... looks all original to me

I have a similar Standard with a 2 1/4' brim ... 2 1/8"is not an uncommon width for the era

fantastic find

Hey Moon! Thanks so much! At a size 7 5/8 and under 60 bucks, I couldn't;t resist - especially after seeing yours as it is quite similar! I mean, it feels and looks as if it was barely worn! More 'coveted' than worn. I plan to do the same!

Hut-Seidl München "Garant" made by Mayser Ulm, 60cm probably mid 1950s. Very high quality felt that easily dry creases. Also I really like the ribbon width and hat form. Hut-Seidl München had a strong historical connection with Mayser Ulm.

It's a lovely hat. Great German quality. Still sorry I had to let mine go.

Just came in the mail today. Vintage Biltmore. How vintage, I cannot say. Anyone have any ideas?
Light mothing that I might be able to brush over. And a wind cord the seller failed to mention, pleasant surprise! Of my 40+ hats, only one other has a wind cord.
Biltmore hasn't disappointed me yet. This is #4.

Can't help with the age, but I sure like the look of it. Very nice looking velour.

My last acquisition, the vintage Sombreros De Luca, made in Argentina, probably 60's, but can be older. It has a frayed bow. Mint condition, my first black fedora. I couldn't find any information about the hat maker.

Very nice looking hat, Fabio. I really like these older ones. This one is in great shape too.

My thoughts exactly, John. Good to see them in action and it's what this forum is about too!
