Circa-1930 Cavanagh Associate's Homburg
As I mentioned in the eBay thread, this hat I bought was stolen from the seller's car before it was shipped. I'm sad to lose such a specimen, but wanted to document it here for posterity's sake. This Homburg was created in the very early years of John Cavanagh, Ltd., and has a very unique liner. It was for a Cavanagh retailer (retailers were known by the company as Cavanagh Associates), with a non-standard Cavanagh liner. Because of the Cavanagh-Make stamp, this places it in the early years of John Cavanagh, Ltd., 1928-1932-ish. Is this typical of Cavanagh Associate hats circa-1930? I don't know. All other Cavanagh Associate hats I have seen used a standard Cavanagh liner, so I really wanted this one. Oh well, easy come, easy go.
