Sometimes, don't you wish we would wear hats more? Not baseball caps or sun hats, but millinery hats, the kind people used to wear to church or on a stroll about town. This hat was made in New York City. Probably, the velvet flowers too. It is a tightly woven fine straw of some kind so I think it was a spring or summer hat. I know around here, the cowboys wear straw cowboy hats in the summer. This one looks like something Pollyanna would wear. It was certainly a different time back then.....
