Wormser

Nice score!
Color scheme kind of reminds me of a peanut butter cup...
A Wormser is definately on my list.

Now I want Reeses'.

LOL...Moe, then I got a hat that would remind you of Trail Mix!

Found this thread and liked yours very much Harv, so thought I'd post this Wormser Regency Series.
5" crown as cattleman creased and 3" brim, too white to be silverbelly I think; 7 1/4" LO- never worn. When I bought it I thought I might try to convert it to a fedora, but very hard/stiff felt so it will stay as is (too western to wear it here in England)

Haven't seen this thread pop up in awhile. Reminded me I've never posted my only one here. This came from England via a nice member that hasn't posted here in awhile. Of course, these are his pics. I didn't have to go out in the rain to make fresh ones.

Wormser Supreme Quality.

5 1/2" crown
2 1/2" bound brim

Great piece. A little roomy, but I'm not going to let that bother me. Pretty wonky when I received it, especially the brim. Not having a 7 3/8 flange, I had to make do with the table and hand shaping. This is my first Wormser, and I'm delighted.

Open crown

Innards

The results

I still need to reattach the wind trolley, which had become detached and was reattached wrong.

Very nice Jim. The price of $6.85 is interesting, back when a couple of dimes actually meant something. Sweet liner.

Perfect!

I almost added another to my collection the other night. However, I dozed off and didn't bid.

I'm such a Yutz.

These are sweet hats with a dedicated following! Do we have anyone with data on the Wormser quality levels? I’ve seen Supreme Quality ($6.85 - ‘40s?), Royal Luxury, Sterling Quality, Custom, and 10 Star.

Information on date placements would be great too, even if tough on these.

 

[Just Daniel]

Pushing this again, anyone have quantitative or qualitative views on these Wormser quality designations?

I’ve looked for Wormser ads and information but can’t find anything. Some additional price points or even a comparison between models would make a great contribution!

Thanks,
Daniel

Daniel, I have one Wormser in an OR style with a 3" brim. It bears both the 3X and 10* designations.

 

[Just Daniel]

Count me as an admirer of the mystery 10* 3X double designation!

More mystery! Is that the Wormser you have listed in your top ten?
