A wonderful double find, John. Congrats

Lately I have not been in hat seeking and buying mode, but when the fish jump in the boat... :)
Today I went into a recently opened second-hand and collectables store just a few blocks from home. Found this cool three-hat Dobbs box.

It's cool enough as is, with the Game Bird stamp on the tag, but the hat inside is awesome, even though it isn't a GB or even a Dobbs.

Again a new French beauty:
Thibet "LUXE" bowler/derby respectively chapeau melon
The only label inside is an embroidered fabric label "BURGUNDER Romain".
Sold at Caésar Wolfram - successor J. Laforgue in Thann/France.
So far I have found nothing about the hat manufacturer/seller.
Great wool felt - Super overall condition - Nice proportions.
The best thing is the unusual and fantastic lining.
My dating idea would be 40s - a feeling based on the lining.
Original size tag: 60 cm / 6 1/2 Punti / 7 3/8 English size.
Is more like a 59 and with cork strips it fits me.

Fabulous find, Matt. The liner is on another level; killer!

It's going to take a while to sort through and post the 8 hats that arrived from Volendam today, but here's the one that started this batch off.

A 1930s Stetson Bowler imported by Sools of Paris. Stefan posted extensive photos of this in the Bowler or Derby Hat thread on the 6th of June. So I'll refer you all to that post for further pics.

Hope the Mona Lisa smile on my face shows how so happy I am with this beauty. Thanks again to Stefan for catching this one for me.
