habigman 0 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Franz Richter & Söhne, Dresden,"Uri" "Tell", Wool possibly 1930s. This hat belongs to Stefan on the FL. My guess is it was made by one of the German Hat Factories (located in what became East Germany post WWII) that produced Wool Soft and Stiff Felt hats up to WWII. It could have also been made by FRS from sourced Wool stumps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is it was made by one of the German Hat Factories (located in what became East Germany post WWII) that produced Wool Soft and Stiff Felt hats up to WWII. It could have also been made by FRS from sourced Wool stumps. This hat belongs to Matt on the FL. Here is Matt's explanation of "Küssnacht" "Tell". "The overprint on the sweatband shows a top hat and says: "Küßnacht" and under it probably "Tell", so that I assume from a Swiss salesman. In Küssnacht, the legend of William Tell, the Swiss national hero, has its localization..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
