Not a vintage hat, but a nice one. A new to me, fairly modern Tonak in cream velour. A very nice felt. Good to know they are still made.

An update on the new hats that arrived this December.
They're all near-misses, so a real boon for those who wear small sizes.
They were all purchased from different sellers without asking too many questions, hoping for something wearable. That wasn't the case, but risk is part of collecting :)

Starting from the left, the gray hat is an Austrian Nagy-Wien product, likely sold by Gloria-Wien. The brown Homburg is a Morreton Chamois. The brown one with the vents is a Panizza. The brown one on the right is also a Nagy-Wien hat marked "Standard," a sibling of the gray one on the left. They're all size 56 or 57 (the Vienna ones), although the latter seem a bit small to me.
They'll be presented individually soon for your curiosity.
My own, which guided me through these purchases, was more than satisfied.

Well, I'm certainly curious!
 
The big auction haul arrived. This looks like the days when @drmaxtejeda had just returned from a cross border run to his brother-in-law’s.

More detailed pics to come. These had to get back in the boxes until after Christmas.

Not all arrived safely, sadly. This may have been existing damage that just wasn’t shown in the limited auction pics.

I miss those days! Glad to see such hauls can still happen. Certainly some interesting ones in there, Bob. Pity about the damaged ones.

Nice group of hats. I'll be looking forward to the individual pictures.

Morreton in black.
Great hat. First i thought it was from 1974 according to the label, but that's the order number. I think this hat is from the end of the 50's, early 60's. Nice hand on the felt and good proportions. When you can grab some french hats, the quality is mostly high!!

The FL, where it's all in the family.
My daughter's late 40's Sage Stratoliner and Whippet also both moved on to family members with smaller heads.

She inherits all of the hats I find with the size misadvertised and too small for me that fit her, and when they no longer fit, they move on through the family.
