Gotta be an old hatbox. Love it - image matches the old posters, no?

 

[mikespens]

My guess is it's a counter or window sign. Whatever it is, it's awesome.

That image makes me cringe. Sure the dogs are happy, but wow, that poor hat! :eeek:

Garrett, I will check and see if I can find anything. I do have some German advertisements for G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. (see this thread).

Update: I couldn't find anything on Fritz Reuter Düsseldorf.

Ive never seen this thread before. It answers a lot of questions for me . I knew there were two different distributors of Borsalino here in the 1920's. Now I know why . We have a lot of the newer GB Borsalino hats in our store similar to the Kleinhans hat, but they are probably from the early 1960's.

Another treasure for the hat room Garrett!

I resurrected this thread because I was lucky enough to find a Borsalino belonging to the other side: it is GB Borsalino fu Lazzaro & Co.
I found a small sale of an inheritance in which there were several hats Italian years 40 and 50.
Unfortunately, they were all too small for my noggin. Considering that it is very difficult to find the other party Borsalino I made an effort and I acquired this Zenit and a Barbisio classic.

Zenit are of size 57 cm. and it was sold by a hats shop in Genoa.

It arrived a little out of shape and with some dust.

These proportions of a holy grail of Italian hatters: the crown is 10 cm (4 inches) its lowest point, brims are 5 cm. (2 inches)

The color is typical of Borsalino the years 40 and 50. It is a beautiful "mauve".

I have some other Borsalino Antica Casa of Alessandria in this color, dating from roughly the same period.

It is well preserved for its age, but need to be cleaned and refresh.

Zenit was one of the highest point of GB Borsalino fu Lazzaro & Co.
Here the sweatband with the marks and size

The paper label

I leave to the future owner the job to put in order definitely this hat, as long as there is someone interested in this GB Borsalino fu Lazarro & Co

Outstanding, Dan!! As so often happens, too bad it is so small!

 

[Daniele Tanto]

I'm sorry, Charlie, we are both out of competition!

Looks very light with the thin brim Daniele, great color too. Nice find!

Daniele... we should talk!
