Hello! I am pretty new to vintage clothes (I'm better with jewelry and purses!) and was hoping you could tell me the age of this hat is relation to style? Also what type of fur do you think it is? It is not in great shape but I just had to rescue it for $1 in an antique mall junk box. The label was glued back on but it was just stitched at one point. My guess is 1960s but unsure-is it considered a pill box hat? Thanks so much!

Yes, I also see 1960s, maybe late 50s but the shape is a little hard to define. I would go with early 1960s as that mink trim was so popular then.

The fur on the trim is mink, probably a tail. Not sure if the hat itself is a fur felt, or a wool felt with a felt finish. Odd the way the felt is nubby or pilled on top, not something you see with fur felts generally. Maybe it is wool.
