To put it mildly:
probably the little cousin in shape and age
of Steve's fantastic 1900 Habig Bowler...
J. Hückel's Söhne Melone/Bowler/Derby
This stiff felt is really rather semi-stiff:
Completely dented by shipping ,
but easily recovered thanks to this fact.
It comes with a wind cord & strongly bent up side brim.
The sweat has no print and is quite simple (but still soft);
the black lining with the gold logo is what drew me to it.
As far as the age is concerned, I'm a little unsure:
The shape reminds me a lot of Steve's Habig;
I didn't find this JHS label in his list so far...
Nevertheless, I think: pre WWI - maybe 1900s!?
