If you elect to keep them, definitely try steam to smooth out the ribbons. But you also can use an iron on the ribbon. If you can sew, just pop the stitches, iron out the ribbon, sew it back on.
It shouldn't be your problem to deal with, but it can definitely dealt with relatively easily.
Sovereign grade was ditched in the Deckard era, so a 2014 sale is not out of the question. But I agree that the box is older. They were using the grey and white boxes back then, because I remember being slightly disappointed they didn't do special boxes for the 150th anniversary.

Presumably the hemp ones are a bit more forgiving, but the shantung straw ones will definitely not just snap down. Shantung western do get shaped, so if you steam it, you could probably turn the brim down.
