Offizieller Katalog. (1905-06)

Side note: With the participation of Anton Seidl, the owner of the J. A. Seidl hat factory in Munich, the company is transformed into a GmbH (private limited company) in 1914. The partners are Carl Mayser and Anton Seidl, who takes over sole ownership of the Mayser hat factory four years later (1918).

Manfred, Thanks! Around 1910 you start to see more imports from Austria and Germany. The Austrian makers were much more successful with their Velours. Happy New Year!

What a bargain! Con-even-more-gratulations

There's no way to keep that kind of deal under your hat Richard. I'd go to confession to tell that one and I'm not even religious.

 

[mayserwegener]

Richard, Wow! That was an absolute steal! Would it be possible to take a side view photo and one of the entire bottom of the hat?
