Hallo Chris

A lot of Topp in the 1942 Lubeck adressbuch:

and a lot also post-war in 1951:

Amongst them I notice an Hans-Joachim who sold Herren & Damen-Hute and Club & Seglermutze. Probably our man.

Best regards

Codeba KG was apparently a contract name Peter Kupper used for headgear supplied to the Bundeswehr:

Another chapter in the never-ending story of PeKuRo and this time Porre has unwittingly contributed:

CoDeBa Gmbh & Co. KG, In der Krim 3034, 42369 Wuppertal-Ronsdorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, which means “Companie Deutscher Baskenmützenhersteller”, was demolished in 2003. A sample of their visors:

This is their history and the “1935 denkmal” for fifty years of productive activity of the founder, the notorious Peter K. unfortunately dead the year before (1861-1934):

A sample of CoDeBa output astutely transferred some years ago into the WSS:

Yes Chris, surely a postwar maker, because in 1942 we have two Otto H., the first a cordage seller in An der Untertrave no. 67 and the second a turner in the same street but no. 111/112:

First trace is postwar (1951 - 1953 - 1955 - 1957) in the field of sailors' outfits with shop in An der Untertrave no. 70 and home in Fischergrube no. 82:

There is still currently an Otto Höpfner GmbH, An der Untertrave 70, 23552 Lübeck, involved in the textile clothing retail.

Hi
I was offered a zoll visor yesterday produced by Heinrich Balke. The cap itself looked like a postwar BRD Polizei and the Balketag is just like the one in Stonemints post.
The seller was 100% sure the producer also produced with that tag shortly before the end of the war.
Is there a snowballs chance in Sahara?
I didnt buy it btw
