habigman Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Carl Ceschka's Söhne Wien Kaiserstr. 123, Alserstraße 6 Participated in the 1900 Paris Grand Prix. http://germanaustrianhats.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/5-p-c-habig-hutfabrik/page-4&do=findComment&comment=711 Title Plate: Carl Ceschka and sons, La Capelo, Vienna Description Cliché; advertising image of the firm Carl Ceschka and sons; label: " La capelo Esperanto, el la fabriko Carl Ceschka and sons, Vienna, Kaiserstr. 123, Alserstrasse 6 " Date about 1935 http://www.bildarchivaustria.at/Pages/ImageDetail.aspx?p_iBildID=10578976 District VII, Kaiserstrasse 123, Wien Listed in the Austrian Hat Industry Guide 1926 (see page 14). Robert Ceschka must be a relative. http://germanaustrianhats.invisionz...7-austrian-hat-industry-guide-1926/#entry1237 Listed in the December 20, 1930 Austrian Hat Makers News. This is the Vienna Hat Makers Coop. Robert Ceschka is listed in the December 5, 1933 Austrian Hat Makers News. He is one of two Kommerzialrat (Counsellor of Commerce) listed which is an honorary title so he was an important figure in the Austrian Hat Industry. The number of donors is way down and there is a plea for help. This is due the very bad economic situation. "Donations for the support fund of the Viennese Hatter Cooperative. Colleagues! Take care of the destitute masters and assistants as well as master and assistant widows and give plentifully to the support fund of our cooperative! Commercial Councilor Heinrich Sandmann, Head of Department." I haven't been able to find any post WWII record of the company. It appears the company goes back to at least the mid 1800s. The last record I could find is from the 1944 Vienna City directory. The building looks like it's still intact so not sure what happened.

habigman Posted September 4 Author Report Share Posted September 4 Carl Ceschka Wien, Back Bow, 58 cm possibly 1920s. I think this might be what was called an Artist Hat / Künstlerhut based on the wide 3.5 inch brim (just don't see brims this wide). The black Velour is of very high quality with very high gloss. I couldn't locate a paper label and didn't want to disturb the sweatband too much. Carl Ceschka Wien hats are not very common plus the unusual wide brim makes it a special find. "Without Equal" Founded 1868 Open Crown Here is an example of a Artist's Hat / Kunstlerhut from Skriwanek - Hüte catalog (possibly 1920s). Nr. 317. Artist's hat, very wide brimmed, black and in any desired color, wool felt S 16.50, hare hair S 25.-, brand "Pleß" S 34.-, in velour S 28.-, 40.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
