This lot of 5 hats are all true vintage hats of their time. They include a beaver felt Okun hat, a Mr. Leonard fascinator, a Frank Olive faux-turban, and a Fredric Hawes Original. They show some reparable wear for their age, but are still quite unique pieces for any hat collector or milliner.
A detailed description of the condition of each is below: please refer to the pictures to aid the descriptions.
1. Frank Olive Faux-Turban — wool felt with a gold accent layer at the front and a graceful tapered back (22 inch circumference) 2. Blue Felt Asymmetric Hat with pleated grosgrain feather with a rhinestone accent (rhinestones are yellowing, but could be popped out and replaced) (Tagged accurately as a 22.5 inch circumference) 3. Red Wool Felt Fredric Hawes Original with Red Feathers. The mesh netting at the front is badly torn, but can be easily removed and replaced. The feathers could use a little rewrapping in order to pose them better (20 inch circumference 4. Okun Beaver Felt Hat with wide front brim and black grosgrain ribbon. Chin elastic needs replacing. (19 inch circumference). 5. Mr Leonard Back Velvet and Satin Fascinator with Pearl and Rhinestone Accents. Some of the rhinestones are greying and some of the pearl teardrops are certainly not original. The inside of the hat is beautifully hand painted, but the rhinestone cabochons glued inside are not original.
These hats are sold as a lot of 5 to minimize the shipping expense.
