Hückel Weilheim "Special" possibly later 1950s.

Hückel Weilheim Hat Holders made by Zeitler - Karton, Murnau / Oberbayern possibly early to later 1950s.

I've yet to see a Hückel I didn't like. That one is a beauty, Steve. If it wasn't for the initial badges, I'd have said it was NOS. It looks in super condition.

Great looking hat holders, too.

Well, here's to 61 and many more for you, Max!

I just looked up Chetek on a map. Many years ago I attended an auction with my summer employer in nearby Rice Lake. Grocery store closed down and we went to buy store equipment. Packed skids and skids of Lozier shelving among other things, enough to fill up a large U-Haul. Worked hard but played hard too. If you take Highway 8 east several hours you'll end up nearby where I grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Wouldn't it have made more sense for you to fly into Twin Cities (MSP) as opposed to Chicago? That's a major airport hub, pretty nice one too. You could have swung by and visited @Short Balding Guy to boot!
The flight to O'hare is nonstop, cheaper, and close to where my friend Ron Szelag can pick me up for the drive north. He is the owner of the boat and all the tackle, and one of my oldest friends.

Hatless, but with my Tilley hanging behind me.
My first Tiger Muskie. Son of a gun cut my right index finger while I was taking the hook off. Such ingratitude!.

Max, is that you? Didn't recognize you sans hat [emoji4]. Nice catch. Who would ever have thought I'd say that about a fish on a hat forum [emoji23]

Nice one, Max! Muskies are a mysteries to me, kind of liKe a freshwater lingcod. I think we all have need of a Tilley.

Steve, Thanks! It was in even better condition when I received it a few years ago. :) Great to see the 1960s Cervo made for them by Tonak. I am not sure I have seen that one in detail.
