P. & C. Habig Wien probably 1930s.
The curling machines are unreal, I have three of them, and a bucket full of curling heads of differant size curls, will have them sand blasted and polished there is one that is the biggest curl I have ever seen in that bucket.
Ribbon, and ribbon and ribbon, there are 100's of rolls of 4 line 6 line 9 line 12 line, and boxes full of 14, 16, 19 and 22 line ribbon, more 3 ply and 6 ply ribbon than I could ever get in all colors.
Hope to get piping for steam and blow down lines done in the next week or so and have the blocker cleaned and painted and in use by Sept 1st.
Hope to get the vintage air vent dies cleaned and installed on the machine to do those wonderful vent designs in the crowns and sides of some of the hats we make.
Almost forgot about the wind trollys I found in a box with all the ribbon I bought

Good afternoon Gents! Everyone of you guys are looking great today! I love the collection of hats!
delectans, Happy Birthday! I love the Panamas you wear!
Thanks for the kind comment and birthday wishes, and congratulations on a fine first effort working on your hat.
Here with this weather, we just can't say no to a trip to the beachJoao, a super place to chilling. Thumbs up for the Resistol!
Thank you. The place is amazing. I can't describe it with words and I forgotten to take some pictures to show.Joao - hat suits you well, and the beach looks a great place.
Great job and it looks very good on you. Someone wearing a western that it's not meToday I'm wearing my recently converted Resistol 4X Cowboy hat. I haven't posted pics of this one yet. The label under the sweatband was written by hand, not computer. Based on the tall crown, liner style, and sweatband, I would say it dates to the late 70's.
Belated Happy B-Day! Great Panamas and photos! Also USA Fencing picked up two medals at the WCs yesterday!
Happy Birthday Al! Thanks for sharing.
Great pics all-around.
Minnesota evening is 67'F with a breeze off the water that makes a wool Pendleton 49'er jacket comfortable this evening. My VS Whippet (sahara colored felt) tops my head in comfort.

As already mentioned it is Super Tuesday here for sure today.
I've not had much time to check in the last few days, changes at our company have me getting in early and staying late with way too much to do all around
Been mainly wearing my Worth & Worth Montecristi, including today:
