Hatbox Homage

[PaulHat1933]

I'm daily working on the restoration of the "100" box, it's coming together very nicely. And I've ordered some leather to cement to the main box body and its lid, to serve as hinge. And a strap of thick leather to make into a replacement closure, the original having gone south ...

A couple of auction hats unexpectedly arrived in this box. None of them a Pilgrim. Wish they had put it into a shipping box and not taped it and glued a label to it … oh well.
