Is this hat vintage

[plousia]

Hi all, this hat looks like a (I guess) 50s or 60s pillbox (any corrections on date welcome). But I'm questioning a bit whether it's vintage or a more modern reproduction. It's in perfect condition, which of course doesn't mean it can't be vintage. But something about it makes me wonder. Opinions welcome before I list it.

I think it's either 60s pillbox or 80s church lady. Anything tucked under the grosgrain ribbon?

Nothing, no labels. The only thing under it is the brim of the hat. It looks like the velvet is hand-sewn on around a thin white tube. I can take a picture of that if it's helpful.

I would just call it a vintage pillbox. I am not sure I could identify it further from pictures, without handling!

That is a sweet little hat. I would date it to the mid to late 1950s to possibly very early 1960s. The veiling looks a bit older, probably old stock left over in the hat shop or hat making company, as it is a little nicer than typical 50s veiling.
