No date on the newspaper, That was one of the first things we looked for when we took the paper out. But will have to look a bit closer when I get to work on Tuesday. Thanks Rauville That will give me a bit more to look into, I did notice that many of these that I seen did have Ersatz on the title. I did manage to find out a bit more on the maker also, based on the tag. Here is a clip of what I read.
Carl Gottlob Wilke, 1796-1875, founded his company in the town of Guben in 1822
He actually invented the process of making weather-resistant felt in 1850, and his company became the greatest hat maker in Germany
The condition is amazing, the only issue it seems to be missing it's chin Strap. From what I can tell on value so far I should get use around $300.00, if it had it's chin strap and in this condition it would get maybe $700.00. Thanks again for the help.
