I don't know anything about your hat (can't see the photos), but it helps to have a more descriptive thread title, like "What kid of ladies' hat is this?" As to the maker, have you done a Google search of the Fedora Lounge?

Hmph. Them fellas don't know nothing.

That is a Bendel bonnet -- as praised by Cole Porter in "You're The Top." Henri Bendel was a very fashionable New York milliner/designer of the twenties, thirties, and forties, and his hats were very popular with the upscale ladies of the time. Your grandma must've been quite a classy lady.

My grandma was a homemaker and my grandfather worked as a mechanic for then, Southern Pacific Railroad, he died when my dad was 17 (now 80) and gram died in 2006 2 days before her 103rd birthday.

This lil bonnet does not look good on me

Thanks, LizzieMaine. I will now have "You're the Top" stuck in my head all day. And I just got "Night and Day" out.

Also Shopgirl, I'd keep stuff like this to the PR. As Lizzie mentioned, you're more likely to find someone knowledgeable about ladies items here!
