Wow Steve! That's a real looker! Very ncie.Echter Borsalino, Point 5, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 inches, probably late 1930s and made for the German market. The felt is medium weight and very pliable. There is a wind cord which is uniquely wrapped (see photo) with contrasting band and binding. There is a separate paper size stamp and the main paper label has "Amiata, C. Nera, Gorasgu". The hat is in mint condition and was sold by Ferdinand, Klan Hof i / B. (Bavaria).
Unique wind cord wrapping.

Thanks Steve! The season starts, as you said, maybe next time but it’s a joke nothing to find there!

The details of this hat are what turn me on. Interesting ribbon and brim stitching. Even though it is probably 60s or 70s, the example of fine European craftmanship and finish are the high points of this one. Great color too. Embrace the Stingy!
Thanks, Matt. Sorry to hear nothing has turned up for you yet, but the season is only starting...
Manfred, thanks. Hang in there: the season is still ahead of you.
Thanks, Mike. I thought you might like that one. It does have redeeming qualities to be sure and if you embrace this stingy it gives you that nice velour finish in return!

Lovely pictures, Steve. That second shot is great and shows a wonderful hat. Either he was a very tall man or the women were very small.Peter Habig (1886-1963) co-owner P. & C. Habig Wien, Berlin (1927)

Stefan, Thanks! The girls are his daughters so not full grown. Maria on the left was 10 or 11 years old (born 1916) and Lucy on the right was 12 or 13 (born 1914). The photos are from a 1927 P. & C. Habig Wien photo session "Habig Fashion" that featured women's clothing.

The rest of the photos can be found here. They can be purchased so probably a sharper image.
