Stunning!!!J. .Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible", possibly 1930s. The smooth finish black felt is light in weight and very pliable. The off-white wide sweatband, gilded liner logo, and liner piping are more inline with JHS Stiff Felts. The overall condition is excellent. I found this Soft Felt back in 2017.
Mauerer Wien established 1873 are still in business today.
I haven't encounter any hat company having hanging cords as early as JHS so JHS may have been the first. I believe this is only one I have with a barbed knot.

It's BIG HAT Tuesday here @ Rock Bottom and I'm sporting this Biltmore western that was made for The Dirty Shame hat & boot emporium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It features their Canadian Soleil felt. Very suede - like feel to the felt .

Thanks Steve. It remains a mistery until today.
A question: why they use the trademark Bnatam? Do you think they ahve some link with Cappellificio Cervo or Stetson?
