SS Tropical Cap - of sorts

[RobertE]

John and Matt - that does it for me! Together with the other folks who know this headgear, I'm delightedly going to place this on the keeper shelf.

I'm glad I emailed to thank the seller on the Hermann Meyer, and that the other collectors passed on this "fake" cap.

regards, Robert

Oh yes, this is the real deal

Another example without grommets

Mike, thanks for posting your example. It is a dead-ringer for mine, down to the font of the cap size.

regards, Robert

Your cap is 101% correct including the colour of the liner. Chris

I agree, a one-looker! Because of the doubts, I would guess you paid less than the value of the adler alone. Congrats! One man's ignorance is another man's bliss in this hobby!
