Alex !

I'm collecting information on the companies who made hats-" ROGATYWKI ", before the second war and after
I'm showing some pictures of the building where the company your hat comes from is. During the war, the building wasn't ruined. The building itself still stands and the site of the gate remained.
After the war, the Aleksander Pawlowski and his wife made hats and costumes.
The hat company was located in the yard, in an annex. To this day the firms vitrine exists at the entrance

Robek,

Thanks for this post. This is a fascinating topic. It is very interesting to see how these surviving buildings appear today. Please keep us posted with the progress of your research.

Antos !

This is passion, but it's sometimes difficult being that I'm further away. Maybe somebody who lives in Warsaw now could open the gate and take some pictures of the inside. On the same street, there's a museum and it's new.Muzeum Warszawskiej Pragi u. Targowa 50/52 . I sent them an email a few months ago, but still, they brushed me off. A few blocks on the other side, Cieszkowski. Pracownia kapeluszy i czapek ul .Targowa 18 has a factory and her grandpa made some beautiful hats- Rogatywka / Nowy Swiat 12 /. After the war, / Marszalkowska 74 / her father began making them and right now, after 150 years, she's probably the last one. She was very helpful.

My friend referred me to you and said that you're the best Rogatywka's guy. He changed with you a few years ago, one Polish hat with a Mauser . I have an offer for you but my friend lost your phone number. I'm from Chicago and I want to meet you in the same place and change in person. I'll show you pictures and wait for your contact.


Sorry for everyone, I'm looking for this person, but I'm new here and don't know what works. I won't bother you guys
anymore.


Best Regards
