Stefan, Great find! The Band colors and Bow design is are fantastic! I am not sure of the source. I will have to see if I can find a paper label match.

Every so often you unexpectedly find one of your Grail hats. I just received this Hückel Superior in today. Behind the hatband was the ad below, attached, folded to resize the hat. Per @mayserwegener , as I had hoped, it's a pre-war JHS. This would be the top of the line mass-produced hat most frequently worn by the Jewish community throughout pre-Europe (I think most may have been locally made by hatmakers in it near the communities). Before Borsalino gained its popularity, post-war, in the States. This was likely THE Jewish black hat.



The ad, for a Austrian pram-seller, is likely from the 1930's based on the phone exchanges used.
