habigman Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 This is my latest Czech find. There are 20 hats (Brüder Böhm, J.Hückel´s Söhne, TONAK, Janyška) and 4 hat holders (Anton Peschel Neutitschein, Brüder Böhm, Janyška). All of the hats are NOS open crown and range from the later 1930s to late 1950s. Including a couple rare Brüder Böhm Soft Felt Wool hats and a Brüder Böhm hat holder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habigman Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 TONAK Nový Jičín "Lestand", size 58cm, NOS condition with mothing, probably later 1950s (former JHS main factory). The crown is 5 1/2 inches open with a 2 3/8 inch brim. The felt is stiff but can be hand formed with steam. I am sure this by design so could be color finish related. This one is from my latest Czech find. Natural Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habigman Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Tonak "Efekt?", 60cm, Crown Open 5 inches, Brim 2 5/8 inches, NOS condition, late 1940s early 1950s. The felt is of high quality and easily takes a dry crease. Also a very nice overall form. Interesting in this case Tonak choose 1869 and not 1799. The 1869 date was when JHS became a public company. This change might have been due to trademark issues. Yet "150 let (years)" is based on 1799 to 1949. Also the Sweatband is made of a canvas like material.
