Nice find! My size, too!

Hats I find are always too small for me, and never for as little as 25 cents.

Those glass heads are really handy. I have one in my bedroom. It's where my hats sleep, temporarily.
Long term hat-storage means I return them to the hat-rack.
These space age and bachelor pad items are some more recent yard/estate sale finds. The rectangular object in front of the shaker is a cigarette lighter and the yellow spy scope has a nudie picture inside. The moon globe is pre-1969 and features a marking for the proposed U.S. manned landing site. The fabric in the background is also a recent score.

That jar is perhaps for storing pipe-tobacco? I can't think what else it's for.

Here's my two most recent finds, a Kodascope Eight-33 projector (works just fine) and a vintage Hawaiian shirt (only my second original find in 20 years of collecting Hawaiian shirts.
It also could have been a jar for saving hair. Hair jewelry and such was all the rage years ago. Women saved their hair in containers like this to be used later when they had enough saved.
Definitely not a "hair receiver" - they typically had a removable top with a hole in the center. It's probably part of a larger set for the ladies dressing table - mirror, tray, bottles and lots of little jars of various sizes depending on how fancy the set it.
What lovely finds! No yardsales like that around here! Oonly lots of baby stuff!
