Anton Peschel Neutitschein, 57 cm, 140 grams, possibly later 1920s. This is the only (and one other on FL) complete branded APN Stiff or Soft Felt Hat I have so a very rare find. The felt is very similar to JHS Stiff Felts but that makes sense because they were very close neighbors. I really like the dimensions + form and it actually fits so that is an added bonus.

This Lincoln Bennett & Co silk topper was owned by a Danish doctor. He was born in Shanghai in 1873, studied at Copenhagen University, where he graduated in 1900, then worked at the major hospital in Copenhagen.

In 1907, he became the first professor of pathology at Oxford Uni. He specialised in vaccines. He was awarded the CBE after WW1 for his contribution to helping aviators be able to breath properly during flights. Aviation was a whole new ball game back then.

The stickers on the box tell that he sailed to America on the SS Adriatic. This must have been in 1919 when the envelopes are dated. Probably to a conference, or a meet up with colleagues.

The hat must have been bought somewhere between 1907 and 1919.

I always have a BOLO out for vintage OR's, especially those in my size and and in an unusual color. Though not the black I long for, here is a kinda brown/moss green sorta undertone Royal Stetson, my first. 2 5/8 x 5 1/2. Any insight as to the color is appreciated.

Funny thing with colour of a hat. Depends what light you photo it in according to the shades of the hat. That is one super grey Stetson with green undertones. That's my take on it. Basically, it's a super hat. Congrats.

That’s a super OR Greg. I too like ORs of unusual colors.
This color is outstanding. It immediately reminded me of the faded out Utility Shirt we wore daily in the Marines. A faded or light Olive Drab which we all preferred to boot new.
Love it!
