Wonderful hat, Mike.
I'd put it closer to the 1900 to 1917 mark rather than somewhere before the 1900s because of its overall shape and ribbon and bow treatment.
That's just me though coming from a European perspective.
Wonderful, thought provoking images, Mark.
I think, though, perhaps you posted this in the wrong thread.
However, I'll ask the question: do we and our kids truly know how much we owe to these people, that generation, and their sacrifice for our future?
May they always be remembered.
Super Top Hat, Box, and cushion, Matt. Usually the cushion matches the name inside the hat, so maybe it isn't original to the Topper. However, it might be something Bergdorf Goodman added.
Shame it's not your size. It's sadly not mine either. If it had turned up for sale in Denmark though, I'd...
Absolutely wonderful, Steve. It looks even better on you than in your first photos of it pre-wear.
Thanks for the photos of the factory / museum and link to the booklet.
