Hi I am looking for a nice Hopkins hate box Thank you

They are relatively few and far between. I sold one I found in an antique store with the finest Ecuadorian Panama hat I have ever had the pleasure to touch (in all honesty, it intimidated me ;-).

Frankly, I would buy a run of the mill box and spend the money on a Hopkins straw hat. The felt ones I have seen are disappointing, unfortunately. There is an interesting story there, by the way.

I would love to find a quality straw one then I would have one for summer one for winter.the reason I have the Hopkins is that I grew up in Hopkins Minnesota I know that it wasn't made there but that does not matter and it looks pretty neat
