30's NOS Vanity (Brock) in heathered brown. Very much an autumn hat in color and finish.

Sweatband not in best condition & partly loose

Brand "Panonia" - one of the many unknown producers in the East?
Maybe Steve knows more?

"German workmanship"

The central dent was once "clasped"

I guess the head was too small...

The newspaper gives us a dating reference:
Pretty sure pre war - but from when exactly???

As a supplement:
I just found a stamp on the leather,
showing an eagle with an illegible inscription.

Definitely not the Nazi eagle with swastika,
but the eagle of the Weimar Republic or later the federal eagle.

Does anyone know this stamp?

This pre-1934 (United Hatters of North America) dead stock Mallory was in need of rescue. A big thanks to Brent @deadlyhandsome for pointing this out on the bay. Much appreciated!
