Garrett, Super! That is an old JHS "Extra" made for John Wanamaker.

P. & C. Habig Wien "Special Qualität", 57cm possibly late 1920s very early 1930s. The medium weight felt is really fantastic and easily dry creases. I have no information on H. Peter but I am checking.

Commerce Reports - Volume 2, Issue 150 - Page 1770 (1920)

In actuality the companies mentioned still maintained major connections with Austria (specifically Vienna) post WWI. This was especially important because of Czechoslovakia's export restrictions. More here.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Pocke Mirrors probably mid to later 1930s.

There a seven designs presented with some repeats. I have only seen one other design but the sale had ended.

I received this interesting update from the Novojičín Museum Museum of Hats. There a 3 catalogs (last 4 photos) which should be of great interest.

Very cool additions, Steve. We need more of these catalogs.

mayserwegener · Jan 14, 2019

Stefan, I will see if I can get details of these catalogs. I am hopefully going to have 3 of my hats on display (and maybe some other items) for the 220 Anniversary of JHS.

That is very cool, Steve! And recognition for all the research you do on the history of these hats.

Garrett, Thank you for posting this fantastic hat! Does it have a paper label? I have been trying to document the JHS labels.

Can't find any paper labels. Ribbon was replaced by what looks to be Optimo at some point. Possibly a Foulard?

mayserwegener · Jan 16, 2019

Garrett, My guess is early 1930s maybe a bit earlier. I am not sure if it's a Foulard. This is the only German market Sigma I have record of so not sure it matches the American Market Sigma Foulard Velours (not even sure these are all same due to inconsistencies, see below). I also have no information how such names were applied for different markets and time periods.

American Market "Sigma Foulard Seal" ("Seal" on Liner but not on paper label)

http://germanaustrianhats.invisionz...ückel-hutfabrik-weilheim/?view=findpost&p=821

American Market Sigma Foulard (Has non JHS Liner and no "Seal" designation)

http://germanaustrianhats.invisionz...ückel-hutfabrik-weilheim/?view=findpost&p=603

American Market Sigma Foulard (missing Liner so not sure if it had "Seal")

http://germanaustrianhats.invisionz...ückel-hutfabrik-weilheim/?view=findpost&p=194

American Market Sigma (not sure how Robert came up with this because no info, looks like Seal Velour)

Thanks, Steve. I'm curious what the "J V" model designation stands for on that label?

Garrett, Not sure what it means. My guess for "V" is Velour. There is one other Durit I have record of with the "J V" designation.

http://germanaustrianhats.invisionz...ckel-hutfabrik-weilheim/?view=findpost&p=1100

I also have record of this "Durit" with a "J Etui" designation.

http://germanaustrianhats.invisionz...ückel-hutfabrik-weilheim/?view=findpost&p=808

This Durit has "Durit Vel".

http://germanaustrianhats.invisionz...hne-hückel-hutfabrik-weilheim/page-5#entry596

This Durit just has "Durit".

Garrett, Update. The "J" could be "Jota" so "J V" is "Jota Velour" but just a guess.

This "Jota Seal Velour" and "Jota" have "Jota" on the paper label.

Anton Peschel Velour circa 1920

mayserwegener · Jan 18, 2019

Garrett, This is a great hat! Thank you for the photos. Rare early American Market A.P. from just after WWI so no longer Austria but still WWI taxed!
