Stefan, Yes, I did make a rapid finish. I noticed some past photos are no longer available. I have some of the photos so I repost those missing JHS Soft and Stiff Felt Hats.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Extra "Loutre / European Otter", Point size 4 1/2, probably late 1800s. This is the oldest JHS Soft Felt I have encountered. This museum piece Velour belongs to Garrett. The photos were lost here at the FL. The form of this Velour is similar to early Edward VII Homburg Hats. Everything about this Velour amazing!

This is the hat carton that came with the hat and it's from the same location (Schweidnitz, Germany now Świdnica, Poland) as the retail shop so probably original to the hat.
