Picked up a bunch of hats, bandeaus, and a few whimseys the other day and Myrna has been hard at work. I think most of these are 50s. The whimsey (6) and straw cap (3) I think are older, but how old I know not. Your dating help will be moucho appreciated!
Many thanks!!!
1. Wool felt
2. Plush blood red velvet with red feathers
3. Straw cap with wire pulls on either side that keep it on the head
4. Fuzzy felt cap with a beret look - like a bandeau.
5. Brown feather bandeau with orange velvet ribbon
6. Whimsey (topper?) - woven plastic
7. Very stiff lace bandeau
Easter wear
8a/8b. Purple roses 3/4 stiff base with raffia detailing (is this the way it's worn or should it be further back on the head).
8. Woven raffia bandeau
9. Cute cap
