    Hi everyone
    I've recently cleared out my nans flat following her passing and have found this hat in a plastic bag. It's in good condition and I've tried to see if I can sell it but have no idea of how old it is or anything!
    Can anyone help?

    Dunn & Co straw boaters are classic. This hat was a classic of theirs and sold there over the decades. I'm guessing this one is 1940s? Maybe? Do you happen to have a picture of the interior, band and more of the lining?

    Yes, we would need to see the interior to get more clues. as these hats changed little over the decades.

    My guess is 1910s to 1920s, but not sure as yet.

    Does it have a size marked on the inside? A larger size is very desirable.
