1946, George Johnston, Skyscrapers in the Mist, page 35

He was a tall lean man with a voice like a rasping crow. Impeccably dressed and hatted with a dark Homburg.

1983, Lawrence Durrell, Sebastian (Avignon Quintet), Faber & Faber, published 2004, page 1066

Harold Gould as Kid Twist (with a great mustache) wore the best Homburg in recent memory, and Redford always kept his fedora atilt at just the right, rakish angle.
