Wow… that is probably the most destroyed shipping box I’ve seen. Glad it managed to arrive and you were able to work your magic and bring it back to life.Echter Mayser "Spezial", 59 cm possibly mid 1950s. The Black Felt has a great Finish and easily dry creases. Classic Form with very stylish Bow design which Mayser used often with their Homburgs in this time period.
Open Crown
The hat was severally crushed at the brim edge during shipping. The box was pulverized (most likely by USPS) and had to be wrapped in shrink wrap by USPS. I thought it was lost but arrived yesterday with no status update from USPS since early September.
The photos were taken after popping the crown out so originally more crushed.
