Georg & Johann Gärner are listed as paying members of Wiener Hutmachergenossenschaft. At this time no other information available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habigman Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Gärner Wien Melone, size 58cm, probably 1920/30s. This is a wool blend stiff felt. Interesting liner with branch and factory addresses. This is a company listed in Österreichisch Hutmacher-Zeitung but never come across one of their hats so a rare find.

habigman Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Gärner Hüte Wien "Record" Manufactured by J. Heinr. Ita Wien, 59cm, Real Fur Felt probably 1930s or 1940s. I assume Gärner Hüte Wien is the same as Gärner Wien who also made their own hats. I have an earlier Gärner Wien Wool Stiff Felt. The paper label has a "U.F." which doesn't point to J. Heinr. Ita Wien so could be a Gärner Hüte Wien label. I couldn't find any company that matches those initials. The "F" could be Fabrik (Factory) but no guess yet regarding the "U". I really like form of this one and also the ribbon with + bow design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
