Very cool find, Brent. Might be just a coincidence, but Barbisio used those size labels as well. Could it have been made by them? B S standing for Barbisio Sagliano, or is it just Botta Suisse?

Thanks, Stefan. I’m here weren’t and labels hiding behind the sweatband to provide any clues. Maybe Steve @mayserwegener knows more than we do?
Brent, This is the only information I have for now on Botta S.A. from the Kelly's Directory, Europe 1963. They were located in Salorino, Ticino (near lake Como) circa 1963.
