1940 Pink Plume TILT Snood Hat
Flirty and feminine, vintage WWII Era, late 1930’s to early 1940’s TILT Hat. Darling modified sailor hat or riding hat style is made of lush black wool with a velvet hat band and a wide back snood” style ring strap/wrap to tuck under your hair for a fabulous 40’s look! Trimmed with a HUGE fluffy pink feather plume puffball, whose end is tucked into a black wool sheath. The plume is really quite large and makes a dramatic yet feminine statement. Embellished with a lovely French silk veiling to tuck up or leave down over the eyes and face .
Wear this one perched and tilted at any angle you choose! Fits almost all heads as it is in the “doll” hat style of the WWII era.
Made by an expert milliner, the label reads Gus Mayer Co., Ltd, New Orleans.
Condition is very good. Clean and ready to wear. No soiling, no moth bites, no wear. Clean, and the velvet snood is firmly attached and in great shape, the pretty pink feathers have no shedding and are excellent, with only a tinge of fade to the very tips in a few places, but this is not a detraction or really noticed. Inside of the hat is clean, label is mussed, and a bit loose. Veiling has NO tears or breaks and is excellent, supple and strong. Overall very very good.
Price: $68.00
