This is a really cool Bees Hat hatbox (Bees Hats in St Louis Missouri) that my mint condition Bees hat came in. The box is a little beat up, but overall its really nice. Enjoy:

Red Stetson box I haven't seen before. This is one of those double-thick, heavy boxes. Leather strap with interesting v-shaped brass buckle.

Fayrefield Hats 1940's

This is a rare one found recently behind some shelves in Melbourne's 100 year old City Hatters (a must-visit shop for hat lovers visiting Melbourne). The box contained this pristine top-shelf Homburg and the receipt - all sitting ready for collecting during WWII, and there it remained forgotten for 60 years until discovered recently. I've encouraged the store to put it on display.

can you share how much a hat like that would have sold for, 60 years ago?
