Thank you, Stefan. The seller did not reply to my "who made it" question, but I will check when I get it.

Beautiful, Brent!
I just bought this Hückel for 40 dollars.
It was sold in Mexico, so it interests me.
I wonder when it was... opinions? @steur , @mayserwegener ?

Cool find, Max. I found a similar one recently (but did not buy). If I recall correctly Steve mentioned they were made by Tonak specifically for export to the south (and middle) American market.

Do you remember when?

It is refreshing for someone (had to be a European) to mean the whole continent when he says "American".
Geographically, as you know, Mexico is in North America.
You Americans all look alike to me
I'll see if I can find the post (because I did take some shots of it and posted it).Here's my posting of the hat. I misremembered actually: the one I found was for the Spanish market, not the...ahem...American market.

Steve has one on his website as well and has it dated as mid-sixties.

Hatatorium from @Miamibruno
Very cool Max! I've not seen a fedora (much less with a felted edge) from these folks. Not that I've seen that many hats from them in the wild. The ones I've seen out there were all westerns.

Yes, I researched the brand in the Lounge before deciding on it. It turns out the hatter who made them is still alive. I wonder where he got the hat body from

Love the hat, Bob. Coat weather sure looks good right now.

Really nice hat. I’m pretty sure I saw that one somewhere some months back. It was definitely the cav edge on an unusual brand that caught my eye. Nice addition to the vault Max

I’m glad you got it, Joe. I think a little brushing and some steam will bring out a great hat.

I've a question: what percentage does eBay charge sellers? One told me it was 20%. Is it true?
