Roelofs Hats?

[buler]

Great hat. Could you take a closeup pic of the brim edge. It looks interesting.

I found this while doing some online searching. Mentions August Hückel one of the founders / owners of J. Hückel and Sons.

So, to resurrect this thread...I obtained a Roelof identical to the one that started the thread today at a local antiquity store in Phoenix. It is in near mint condition just like the one pictured from 2009. I wonder if it is the same one? A fantastic hat in equally fantastic condition in my size 7 3/8! The smaller size tag came loose so I placed it in the photo. Has the Hatters union logo as well. For $60 I feel like I stole it!

Edit: my liner appears to be a bit more oval than the one from 2009, so there are at least 2 Roelof Royals!
