PH. Möckel Hutfabrik, Homburg vor der Höhe, size 55cm, probably 1920s from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg , Germany hat collection. PH Möckel made the original Homburg hat for Edward VII and they used "Real-Homburg Hat" regardless of the style hat. This Melone is in fantastic condition!

Brüder Böhm Factory in Vienna from the late 1940s early 1950s. I received these rare photos from Jonathan the grandson of Victor Böhm owner and chief inventor at Brüder Böhm Wien, Neutitschein / Novy Jicin. Here is a brief overview by Jonathan followed by the photos + his comments.

"The address of the Brüder Böhm factory in Vienna was Schottenfeldgasse 30, in Vienna's 7th district (or VII. Bezirk, called Neubau). Its location on Schottenfeldgasse was the block bounded by Seidengasse, Zieglergasse, and Lindengasse. The plant was in operation from its construction in 1862 to the 1960s. It was demolished in the 1970s, and there is now an apartment complex on the site."

"Three exterior views of the factory. The structure shown in the third photo is clearly the central building visible in the older prints of the factory."
