Please tell me what era this gal is from!

More Luxtone Pics
Here are some more shots......the inside of the crown, the true color of the hat which is NOT white, just a natural straw color, and the price tag for you to decide for yourself as to what the original price was...

Yes, Jon, could you please, for educational purposes, describe those gorgeous straws! How about the history, material made from, and date of origination.
