Anton Pichler k.u.k. Hof - Hutfabrikant Graz, Austria (Styria), Nov. 1, 1914 from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg, Germany hat collection. This is a fantastic collection (during WWI) of mostly very high end dress Velours with pricing and other information (such as quality distinctions) for the German market. I believe this is the only pricing document for a detailed catalog I have come across so rare. Anton Pichler was one of the top hat experts in Austria (he passed away in 1925) and the company lasted into the 1970s maybe later. Edward VII of England made one of his Trachten Velours famous in England. I have been looking for a long time for an old (pre WWII) Anton Pichler soft felt or stiff felt hat but haven't found one yet.

** Austrian Velours became popular in America around 1910. During WWI there was a heavy war tax so such hats went for $30.00 or more retail per hat (for the time a large sum of money).
