The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Stefan, Thank you! I am sure that some will question my findings but as I mentioned they only pertain to German market Borsalino hats. I have no idea why German market hats are consistent in quality type "Qualità Superiore" over such a long time period. In my opinion "Qualità Superiore" in...- mayserwegener

Timmy, Thank you for posting the additional photos. This is an early Tonak Plant Hückel made for the American market so probably later 1940s early 1950s. The "Alpha" and "Seal Velour" trademarks goes back to J. Hückel ´s Söhne / JHS. After WWII all Czech hat factories were nationalized as...- mayserwegener

Stefan, Super find and it's from my friend's store "Neubarth" in Augsburg! He will be excited to see it! It's definitely from the Nový Jičín / Neutstitschein factory. It's most likely the same time period ( possibly late 1930s early 1940s) as this Peschel "Kristall" of mine. This time period...- mayserwegener
