That's very cool. I love the history of some of these hats.mayserwegener said:This is a some what modern Hückel made by TONAK. All Nový Jičín hat factories were nationalized as TONAK after WWII. Both the Hückel and Peschel famlies were expelled and ended up in Bavaria where they started new factories. They both went out of business in the early 1970s. JHS was the biggest / oldest (1799) in Nový Jičín so TONAK used their factory and are still in operation today. It was complicated situation. In my opinion JHS made some of finest hats ever. Their Velours were the finest I have encountered (see my avatar). Looking forward to seeing more details on this one. If you want more info check this link.

I don't know what it is, but it reminds me of Jack Nicholson's hat in the first Batman movie, where he was The Joker.Lefty said:
Its for formal horseback riding mostly a women's style(although not necessarily used on horseback). A traditional Spanish style. Man's Gaucho style is same type.Lefty said:not me. Sorry, Tango Yankee has (had?) one with a purple lining (I think), and there was some discussion about whether it was a woman's hat. Here we go.
The Good said:Wait, so you have? It is a very nice hat, isn't it? Were you the bidder that was competing with me to the point we were almost tied, "a***l," the one with 10 stars? Thank you for the congratulations, though! I will post pictures of it in about a week when it arrives.
That's about when I droppedthebroker said:No sir, I stopped a couple of days ago at about $50.
DOUGLAS said:Beautiful Hat and interior especially, congrats. It is always a bonus when they fit.

Thanks Brad. That was more or less my guess. Good point, RLK, too.Brad Bowers said:Glad you won it! I'm inclined to say early- to mid-'40s on it. That particular paper label was being used by 1940 and perhaps a few years earlier, but the sweatband seam is stitched, so that almost certainly makes it post-'40.

Hopefully someone from here got it and they can add it to my lonely Roswelle thread. There was another one on ebay recently that went unsold.
