Description

This antique girl's hat is a rarity from deadstock in dappled cotton velveteen with its original grosgrain band & bow. It has a deep crown and top-stitched brim reminiscent of World War I era clothing, probably mid 1910s or as late as the mid 1920s. It's fully lined and appears to be child-sized (check measurements), found in a drygoods store that opened in 1911.
