Pre 1940s dress hats

Anton Pichler Graz, Wool, measures 57.5 cm, 162 grams, couldn't find a paper label probably late 1920s to 1930s.

Echt Velour "Quality Velour Seal", 57cm, probably mid to late 1930s. Not sure what company made it but it came with another Velour from Friedrich Steinberg Hermann & Co. (STECO) Hat Factory Luckenwalde (East Germany) so they might be the source.

R. Hecht Leipzig - Theater Passage - Grimmaishe Str. 12, Wool, 58cm, 160 grams probably 1930s. My guess is this hat was made by one of the large scale German Hat Companies that were located in Eastern Germany that produced both Wool and Fur Felt hats but didn't survive WWII.

Ottmar Reich probably mid to late 1930 to early 1940s. I think the straw type is probably Asia sourced (possibly Japanese Paper Panama) but bleached in Germany.

Echter Borsalino, Point 5, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 inches, probably late 1930s and made for the German market.

1900s/1910s Wicks & Greenman

1900s Wicks & Greenman upbrim fedora/lords hat

The ribbon has the "frayed bow" which was common on hats of the era.

The sweatband has a similar texture to the earlier Stetson "Fray" sweatbands, which seem to have a crazy amount of life to them.

A little info on W&G: "January, 1904, Wicks entered the retail clothing business. For this purpose he formed a partnership with George H. Greenman, of Johnstown, New York, and they continued successfully in that business for five years under the firm name of Wicks & Greenman, and at the end of that period sold out to The Talbot Company of Boston"

Aaah, so you got that one. Good that it went to a lounger. I didn't bid on it because it isn't my size, but it does tick all the boxes. Great catch.
