1920-1923
Gift of Mrs. Thomas B. Porter
H68.245.188

"Hat's Off", History Changing Gallery, May 6 - June 25, 1977

Hat. Description: peach colored panne, side of brim lifted up with cascade of peach colored flowers and green leaves, made by "Hyman's Oakland Berkeley" peach crepe and white silk satin lining. Dimensions: crown 5 1/2" tall, brim 3 1/4". Back of brim raised. I think this is earlier than 1925, as originally catalogued, more like 1920-1923. The flowers cascade around the back to the right. This is a lovely shade of velvet. (Joan Severa, 3/8/1994)
