Lord "Super" Rein Haar from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg , Germany hat collection, probably mid 1950s. Lord is a trademark (may have changed hands over the years) so not sure who made this hat but it has great form.

Echter Mayser from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg , Germany hat collection, probably late 1950s.

Motsch Fils from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg , Germany collection. Motsch Fils is a retailer so not sure who made it (Mossant?) but it's of very high quality. My guess is 1940s maybe older / newer.

Great collection Steve. You have me rethinking Homburgs.

Perry, Thanks!

Hückel Weilheim "Derby" from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg , Germany hat collection, probably mid to late 1950s. Great form!

 

[Fastuni]

Italian Homburg by an to me hitherto unknown maker "Grosso Valtz".
It is dated 3. April 1952. The color is named "Persia".
Wonderful, lightly worn condition. Size 57 cm / 7.
Anyone heard of this label?

 

[mayserwegener]

Fantastic!

Hückel Weilheim - Kolhndofer, size 57cm, probably mid 1950s. It appears to be a mix of two hat companies, Hückel Weilheim (sweatband) and Kohlndorfer (liner). I know that Hückel Weilheim also repaired hats when they first started (they were in a small garage) so it could be from that time period although everything looks original. I am just starting to look into Kohlndorfer Hutfabrik Miesbach, Germany. This is a fantastic hat and a gift from ErWeSa(Wolfgang) which I met up with in Salzburg on my January 2016 trip to Germany, Austria and Italy. Thanks!

Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Hat Museum, Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany

The Homburg Hat

On the left is Edward VII King of England wearing an original Homburg Hat. The hat directly below is a reproduction of the hat he is wearing in the photo. The museum doesn't have any original Edward VII style PH. Möckel Hutfabrik Homburg Hats in their collection(not sure if any exist). On the right is Konrad Adenauer first Chancellor of West Germany who was famous for wearing a Homburg Hat. The hat directly below is his Homburg Hat and the prize of the collection.

Turns out it's a well worn P. & C. Habig Wien that he purchased at Hellings Bonn. His initials (Dr. K. A.) are on the sweatband.
