Great find, Steve. Odd isn't it that they seem to show in flocks!?J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible" made for Ober Österreich Hutmanufaktur Thom. Janout Linz, F.P. 5 3/4 possibly later 1920s. Ober Österreich Hutmanufaktur Thom. Janout Linz had wholesale and retail locations. At this time they were not a manufacturer. The retail location at Schmidtorstr. 1 is still in business today. It's interesting that I have recently come across a couple of J. Hückel´s Söhne sourced Stiff Felts.

Stefan, Thank you! The seller didn't bother to photo the JHS sweatband mark so a total surprise when it arrived.

Brüder Böhm "Ascot", 59 cm, Wool, possibly mid 1930s. First of all I would like to thank Matt for the shipping assistance! This Stiff Felt was made by the Brüder Böhm Neutitschein / Nový Jičín, Czechoslovak factory. The Wool Felt has a Chamois like finish and is in mint condition. The overall all condition of this Stiff Felt is excellent. The only flaw is that the wind cord is missing. This is a really great example of a fantastic Wool Stiff Felt!

Nice find, Timmy. I don't believe I've ever seen such a hairy Bowler before.

R. & M. Wenger "Elasticon", 59cm, possibly later 1920s. This is my first R. & M. Wenger Stiff Felt find after looking for many years. The black Fur Felt is very dense with a fine smooth finish. A jaunty shorter length bow is a stand out. Great looking form and high quality overall workmanship. Also the condition is excellent.
Unfortunately the original cord was removed.

I recently acquired this Stetson Excellent Quality Feather Weight Derby that is in remarkable condition after all these years. The sweatband is stamped with Panama Pacific International Exposition which was held in 1915 so I reckon the hat was manufactured in that year. I'm no expert by any means, just going off some of the information I read here at TFL. So...here's my hat !
