These are mostly from the early part of the 20th Century.

It is on paper.

This one is really nice!

I thin this is a better photo. I love this hat!

Mayser Spezial, black, size 58cm. Probably early to mid 1960s.

Wegener Homburg, black, size 59cm probably late 1950s. All around super high quality and in great condition. Wegener detail work is some of the finest I have encountered.

This Trachten belongs to Robert (RLK) on the FL. Based on the paper tag the production date was 09/1983.

Light brown with Antelope finish. Size 60cm, brim 2 5/8 inches, 5 inch crown creased. This one has a really nice finish and is in NOS condition. Ernst Köln was a men's store in Köln so not sure of the maker.

Men's store. Not a maker.

Hans Baumgärtner Velour, Black, measures 59cm, crown 5 inches creased, brim 2 1/8 inch. The ribbon is from Optimo. Slick, shiny, very pliable old style velour.

Fürth, Bavaria

No other information.

Borsalino Export Qualität, black, size 5 1/2 Punti, missing wind trolley button, probably early - mid 1960s. The brim can be worn up or down. I have a Wegener and Mayser of similar style and weight. In hand this would not feel like most Borsalinos people have encountered.

Mayser had the license to make Stetsons starting in the mid 1950s. There is a fantastic late 50s Stetson - Mayser Homburg farther back in the thread.

Thanks! It is a size 58cm and in almost new condition. It needed some slight stretching but fits perfect now. P. & C. Habig made great hats!

Stetson Royal made by Mayser. Size 60cm probably 1980s.

P. & C. Habig, Brown, Size 60cm but measures 61cm (7 5/8), 2 1/2 inch brim and 5 inch crown creased. Very nice felt, liner and unique sweatband. I am thinking late 1970s to mid 1980s.

Peschel Velour, Size 58, late 50s early 60s.

I got this one for about $10.00. Looked like a wreck but I knew it was a nice Velour.

Mayser Hut Seidl Munich Homburg. Light to medium brown, size 58cm and near new condition. Sweatband date stamped 12/27/58. Hut Seidl Munich had a direct relationship with Mayser so this is some type of custom model. This is my new first place Homburg.
