The man I am selling them for, his 83 year-old mother recently passed
away and she was a hat lady. When I went to his garage sale I noticed a
mink trimmed hat that he was selling for $3.00. I offered him my card
and told him that any hats he did not sell, I would be more than happy
to sell for him.
He asked me what I thought they were worth and when I told him... he
pulled them all from the sale. This past Wednesday he brought them over
to me and it looks like there are about 40 hats, he sold about that
many at $3.00.
I just can't wait to get into these vintage hats and get started
putting them in inventory. Red and purple seem to have been her
favorite colors, so all of you Red Hat Ladies... you need to keep and
eye on my shop over the next couple of weeks or email me to be notified
when I get them posted.
Some of these old hats are pretty outlandish as well, which in my mind
makes them all that more amazing. She is / was an African American lady
and I can just visualize her wearing these.
We have camel hair, straw, satin, beads, feathers and one that has a
lampshade look to it.
Now to the ties. I have had these vintage clip-on and regular ties for
quite sometime and just never got around to getting them posted in the
antique shop site but while I post the hats I will also get the ties
listed as well.
I will be adding more vintage infant and children's clothes too.
