Germany, No Company Name or Initials

Biber, 59cm, very good condition, probably late 1950s. I assume it has some Beaver (Biber) content based on the name. Unique bow design and very nice felt finish / color. Sold by Wilhelm Maushard, Schopfheim, West Germany.

"Metro", 57cm, Wool, probably early 1960s. I assume this hat is German made but there are no words on the paper label. I purchased this hat from the seller of 1930s "NEUHEIT" Velour. It's machine formed and the Wool is a bit course but overall a good looking hat.

Carl Jacobs Halle a/S., measures 57cm, probably WWI era maybe later. No company mark but probably made by one of the hat companies in Guben or Luckenwalde. Currently I can't make out the symbol above Carl Jacob on the liner. It has a over welt brim with a slightly offset smaller scale bow and a unique shinny lime green liner. The Velour is in very good condition and has a very nice glossy finish and fine hand.

Weston, 56cm possibly mid to later 1950s. No company mark but probably made for a distributor. I couldn't find anything on the "Weston" trademark which is a play on Stetson. The felt is light in weight and pliable.
