Ooooooh, my! What fabulous eye candy, thanks for sharing!
The collapsible silk bonnets from the 1830s are fascinating.

WOW!!! Incredible collection!
Just curious do you know if this is an online auction or only in person?

At last! Some great hats on auction! Except now I am broke and cannot bid. But thanks for posting the link, Claire.
Some of the hats are really nice.

Mary Jane, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I think the Whitaker Auctions are online, but I've always bid absentee so I can avoid getting caught up with enthusiasm and over paying.
I got 3 items at the Leslie Hindman Auction yesterday. I didn't bid high enough on 3 more, but I looked at the sale prices. They were more than I wanted to pay.
If you are interested, the 3 bought were 65, 193, and 81. Only 65--the Carven couture--is for my collection. I can wear the others.
They had Dior-NY and at least one Norell that didn't sell. I thought a few pieces that didn't sell were overpriced for example the Guy Laroche couture dress. Even at 50% of the low estimate, it seems high for GL.
