Hatbox Homage

[PaulHat1933]

I'm daily working on the restoration of the "100" box, it's coming together very nicely. And I've ordered some leather to cement to the main box body and its lid, to serve as hinge. And a strap of thick leather to make into a replacement closure, the original having gone south ...

A couple of auction hats unexpectedly arrived in this box. None of them a Pilgrim. Wish they had put it into a shipping box and not taped it and glued a label to it … oh well.

If there isn’t a King’s Umbrella hat box in here the thread is sorely lacking.

Let's rectify this unfortunate situation, shall we?

Cedar lined for your sniffing pleasure!

I recently acquired a John B. Stetson Clear Nutria hat that has G. Henry Stetson stamped into the leather sweatband. It came with the original box which is different from other vintage Stetson hat boxes I have. Here's a couple of pictures

To be found on Ebay, so not mine, but for the sake of Borsalino history. Shipping box:

Posted this in the Borsalino thread, but it belongs here as well.
