habigman Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Erste Wiener Produktiv Genossenschaft Kelly's Directory Of Merchants, Manufacturers And Shippers, 1925 Österreichisch Hutmacher-Zeitung, Decemeber 20, 1930 Österreichisch Hutmacher-Zeitung, Decemeber 5, 1933 District XIII changes to District XIV in 1938. Greater Vienna It received the approval of Hitler on 1 October and entered into force on 15 October 1938. This date also came into force with the ordinance of the mayor of Vienna, in which the new district boundaries were defined in detail. The formation of Groß-Wien was partly based on economic, partly by military considerations. The expanded city of Vienna was now divided into twenty-six districts instead of twenty-one districts. The former 14th district and the former 15th district, both particularly small, were merged into the new 15th district. A new, large 14th district was formed from parts of the former 13th district and newly integrated areas ( see below ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habigman Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hutproduktiv Wien, size 56. Made in Austria but has French words on the paper label. Probably late 1940s early 1950s. This one belongs to Paddy on the FL. I found out why the paper label is in French. District XIV (see map) was under French control after WWII. My guess is this hat is probably late 40s early 50s (Occupation 1945-55). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habigman Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 C. Messmer Wien, 59 cm possibly late 1940s. The felt on this hat is fantastic. Also the contrasting black liner and white sweatband in striking. It appears to be have been made by Hutproduktiv Wien (see below). I couldn't find anything on C. Messmer Wien production capabilities. Based on the paper label the hat was made by Hutproduktiv Wien. The label is in French because Hutproduktiv Wien was located in District XIV which was under French control after WWII.. Here is another example. https://germanaustrianhats.invisionzone.com/topic/163-hutproduktiv-wien/?do=findComment&comment=911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
