Johann Hückel´s Söhne (pre 1940)

[mayserwegener]

I made five updates today going back to February 2020.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Prima" (Paper label has "A V" so possibly Alpha Velour), French Point 4 1/2, possibly 1930s late 1920s. This hat belongs to Steve.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Superior Velour", French Point Size 6, possibly mid 1930s. NOS condition and made for the French Market. This hat belongs to Stefan on the FL.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible" "Rauh", French Point 6, possibly late 1930s very early 1940s. This is the first "Rauh" quality that I have encounter.

In a sunny Sunday I have the chance to chose my list of favourites in the Huckel production
By reversing the order of appearance of the quotes you get to my personal ranking
Grazie Steve and collaborators

[Mean Eyed Matt]

Once again:
Hückel hat box - Steve has already shown several of them here.
I was wondering about the age: On the one hand Steve got 30s hats in it,
on the other there is the post to Zeitler-Karton on your homepage that says 50s...
Either way - I present it with my JHS Superior Velour

 

[mayserwegener]

Matt, As I mentioned the carton is from the 1950s. I thought the cartons were early because of the hats that were in them but the company told me the cartons were made in the 1950s.

Your JHS "Superior Velour" is fantastic! I was thinking about this thread a couple days ago. I need to make an update.

 

[Mean Eyed Matt]

Thanks, Steve, for the correction and the adjustment of my infos!
Btw: The hat in the pictures is the apparently unworn Hückel Superior Velour,
which Stefan @steur found some time ago and thankfully passed on.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Superior Velour", French Point Size 6, possibly mid 1930s. NOS condition and made for the French Market. This hat belongs to Stefan on the FL.

 

[mayserwegener]

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Extra", measures 56cm possibly 1930s. This hat belongs to Stefan.
