Any hat experts in here???

WOW - that is great Lynn - now, who was Alfred Weil? The snippet I had read was, I thought, about a famous milliner, but I may have been wrong, or the snippet I read could have been wrong...

 

thankyou very much for that link, I didn't know Google had a Patents record at all!

 

Followed the link to this adorable little gent over from Ebay's VCA.

What fun!

Can't help wondering how comfortable he was for the wearer, but I'd sure put up with a bit of poking for the sake of a secret cutie!

 

Hi,

What is Ebay's VCA?

What a fascinating thread! And some great hat eye-candy, too...

Barbara--VCA is the Ebay Vintage Clothing & Accessories forum.

 

Just purchased a Bernard Workman hat with the little beaded man sewn onto black grosgrain. I've researched my hat books and find nothing nor to I find Bernard in any of the indexes. Do you suppose Bernard was someone else?

Thanks for the page 19 referral. I'm brand new to this site. How do I get onto Ebay's VCA?
