A very handsome hat with a wide hat band decorated with jet black beads in graduated size. There are two labels inside that read “Baltimore”, and also “22” that would seem to indicate size, however we measured the inside circumference as 20-1/2. It has a red lining. The condition is excellent, ready to wear.
