I would think that is more of a hat"s" box than a hat box.

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.

In the interest of equal exposure of defunct major catalogers, I present this 1967 Montgomery Ward shipping box.

It had a top hat in it, but not sure if it was original to the box — no visible Borsalino markings on it.

J. Hückel´s Söhne internal Wooden Frame Cardboard Box possibly later 1920s. I had been looking for one of these for many years. I found this back in 2023 but never posted it here. The box included a mint condition J. Hückel´s Söhne "Plume" Stiff Felt.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Plume" Stiff Felt surrounded by original tissue paper.

Here are similar J. Hückel´s Söhne internal Wooden Frame Carboard Boxes but from the early 1900s.
