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:

Interesting how they all liked the maroon trim and gold Stetson colour scheme.

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.

Roughed up Mallory

More on how I found them in the Vintage Hat Boxes Galore! thread. I also have a few other boxes. One like this Knox, but shorter, this Dobbs, a big round Stetson box with a horse scene on it, and a fairly modern square Stetson box.

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.

Park them here....

Found both of these boxes with "park" in the name at the same mall.

Good to see you back. We enviously talk about your Ermine box often.

A very rare version of a Royal Stetson hat box ... with practically no bids, and it went for absolute peanuts. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Royal-Stetson-Hat-Box-/280545753096?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0

Evil Little Ermine

That's one helluva hat box. Do you think the missing Ermine hat looked something like its evil namesake?

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