More hats! I first thought these hats were from the 1940s, but now I'm leaning to the 50s. Especially the navy one with netting. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The gold is 1950s, I call those "Shar-Pei" or "wrinkle dog" hats! That was a briefly popular style in the mid to late 1950s. The navy straw is really wonderful, as it resembles an antique lady's riding hat. Hard to be exact as it is a classic style, but it looks late 1950s to early 1960s to me. That Woodmere label was in use in the 1960s, but hats with a Woodmere label were also around in the mid 1950s.
