Thanks, Steve. I was hoping you'd chip in on your thoughts on the R.A. mark on the left side of the label.

Wonderful Swiss ca. 1920s Bowler you posted today btw.

Steve, I am obsessed with paper labels. Thanks again!

Extra indeed!
And thanks as always for the historic context you've included. I always look forward to your posts.

Rollin, Thanks! I was a bit saddened when I read that the famous department store "Grand Magasins Jelmoli S. A. Zürich" had closed very recently.

That's why I hoped you would be able to enlighten me after all these years of having put this Rousselet aside

Now we know it was Rockel, at some point, who took over the Rousselet name.

1910s Stetson Derby, estimated based on the LOT number. 5 ¾” crown, the tallest one I have, and the oldest one I have in my size. The bow has frayed ends on both sides and is not tacked down as usual. Vented crown. Interesting that the reorder number is also stamped on the sweatband.

Great find, Brad. In excellent condition too. English manufacturer Battersby also didn't tack the bow ends down.
