SOLD#4272 - c. late 1700's Century Green Silk Calash Bonnet! I've read that most calash bonnets were formed of green silk, though I can't tell you why! I have seen black, blue and tan, but green seems to be the norm. They are rare to find outside of museums, but you can find them now and then... but RARELY if EVER do you find them in this amazing condition! It's almost like new!! I can't find anything to mention other than two tiny tears in the ivory lining (which is usually never found intact, if there at all!). It's really nearly perfect. As you may know, the calash was worn to protect the immensely high hairdos of the era. They folded flat for easy storage both at home and at the location wherever the women traveled. You can just imagine the coat check problems if these didn't fold down! ;0 These were worn later into the early 1800's but those calash bonnets did not collapse as did the earlier ones. Every hat collection needs a calash. This is the best you will find! Also listed in the 1750-1840s Category. $ 1,495. SOLD

Made in Mexico.. these are the real thing! Excellent condition, though they have been worn. 2.75" heel , 10.5" long x 3" wide. $ 285.

I love finding these old Jordan Marsh label hats since my husband's father used to be CEO of Jordan Marsh Department Store. Sadly, they are now defunct. Really pretty dark straw (or raffia) hat in a medium size so it won't overpower those of you who look better in smaller hats, but love the look of the larger Edwardian hats. Labeled 22.5, so it will fit a slightly larger than normal headsize. Though it's 1940's, this hat will look perfect with the early turn of the century clothing. Excellent condition... the flowers have likely darkened over time, but look nicely patina-ed. $ 165.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the best hats are those that quickly evoke the era with it's special shape. Well, baby, how's this beauty?? Amazing shape, slightly conical, with pierced cutwork brim all in black felt. There might be ever-so-slightly creases in the brim, but it's so slight, that I'm not really sure if that's true.. or it's just part of the unique shape. Black grosgrain bow at back. Really Excellent. A gotta have. 22" label and that is correct. Katherine Hepburn would have loved this hat! $ 225.

Trimmed with black ribbon and great black feather attached at front. Black veil adds the right classy woman touch. Meant to perch on top of the head, so size isn't much of an issue. The perfect accessory to your vintage suit. Excellent condition. $ 235.

Hats started the decade as floppy brimmed cloches, became skull caps, and then in 1934, Elsa Schiaparelli created a sensation with a peaked hat. It "took", and tall hats became the tailored look of the era from the mid to late 1930's. Here's a great example with fun conical shape and trimmed with brown grosgrain ribbon on top and underneath brim! So it will look great to all those people shorter than you as well! :) Excellent condition. Has the elastic to place under your hair to hold hat on head. Under $150, so final sale. $ 145.
[ORDER ITEM - #0380]
Click on image for additional photos!#0380 - c. 1900 Rare SQUIRE Sporty Straw Hat! From The Hatter, Elizabeth New Jersey! Rare jaunty style summer straw hat trimmed in navy blue grosgrain. Excellent condition. except for one thin break line of straw on the side at the crease. You could dab with glue and it will disappear, but I prefer to leave a is, as it's hardly noticeable unless you pull at it. Labeled 6 3/8 size, so it's small... I'd say 21" head best. It's possible it cost $1.00 when new... hard to read the pencil marks inside!! Leather interior band. Well-made hat! The elastic to hold on head is gone. $ 195.

Click on image for additional photos!#3937 - c. 1960's SELEN / Livingston Bros. Black Plush Half Breton Hat with Black Ornaments! Interestingly different as you'd expect this hat to be a breton from the front.. but it becomes a molded cap at the back! With the sweet black grosgrain bow... part mod and part elegant. The ornamentation is black shiny "beads" of three different shapes... round beads, squares and oversized long bugle beads. Excellent condition. Body made in Italy... great quality hat! Under $150, so final sale. $ 145.
[ORDER ITEM - #3651]
Click on image for additional photos!#3651 - 1927 Straw Cloche with Appliques and French Knots! Someone else more knowledgeable that I has dated this hat to 1927. I would have just said "20s". They also call it "khaki-colored horsehair" rather than straw, but I figured you (and I) would relate better to the word straw. Just shows how much I need to learn! What I don't need anyone to tell me is how cute this cloche is! Appliqued with squares of pleated crepe-de-chine and each of the three squares is outlined with tiny velveteen flowers. The front of the cloche is studded with tiny french knots for extra design! Lined in striped silk. Excellent condition. Small size... will fit a normal 22" size head, but will need to be pulled down to fit (yes, it's a cloche) and it will be as tight as they used to wear them ("headache cloche"). You should be fine for a few hours without any permanent brain damage! :) $ 265.
[ORDER ITEM - #716]
Click on image for additional photos!#716 - 1950's PLOTKIN BROS. "Flying Saucer" Black Felt Hat with Flowers! Such a classic 50s design! Oh course, it would have been worn by a woman with a high fashion sense. One of my favorites for the 50s collection. It's a molded felt in this amazing shape... a triangle from the top, but wavy to create the "wingd" look! Black velvet rope gow at the very top. A large sprig of velveteen pink and blue flowers with one red rose in the middle. Black netting completes the look. Excellent condition. Got nerve? Under $150, so final sale. $ 115.
[ORDER ITEM - #9164]
Click on image for additional photos!#9164 - 1900's DOBBS, Milan Brown Straw Hat with Wide Ribbon Band! Ok... I'm not absolutely sure if this is a man's hat, or one of those hard to find "man's" hat for a woman. No size label. Probably a 23" woman's size... slightly large for my normal 22" head. Very wide dark ecru pleated band has some staining all the way around. But the top quality straw is in Excellent condition. Has leather band around the interior with monogram "FDG". There is also another label besides the Dobbs, Milan on the leather band "Louis, Styled by George Wally, Boston, New York". The brim straw is malleable yet stiff at the crown. The perfect combination. I could apologize for the staining on the band, but the hat is so nice, that hey.... Under $150, so final sale. $ 95.
SOLD#6121 - c. 1905 Black Beaded 4-strap Shoes ! Small Wearable size! OK, I'm pricing these shoes for exactly what I paid for them. I know they are beaded, which usually will command a higher price, but they were well-loved and there is just overall wear in the leather, and there is one tear at the front of one shoe. Beading seams to be about 99% intact. Great look! Love multi-strapped shoes. Louis heel. I give the measurements as people ask, but they don't mean anything! Measures: 10" long x 2 5/8" wide, 2" heel. I wear a 6.5 B+, and these go on, but very tight and thin, so... I figure 6A or 6AA. Wear if you can, or just display! Under $150, so final sale. $ 145. SOLD
Approx. - SIZE 6AA

Here's a pair for your collection. 2-tone gray-taupe suede with black kid leather and double straps and pierced trim! They still have the original price tag sticker under, but the first number is missing. Damn! All you see is 0.00 - but I have to assume they cost more than that! :) I give the measurements as people ask, but they don't mean anything! Measures: 9.75" long x 2.5" wide. Labeled size 3 1/2A. Excellent condition though were worn. $ 285.
Approx. - too small to wear likely
[ORDER ITEM - #6122]
Click on image for additional photos!#6122 - c. 1913 Marshall Field & Co., Chicago Black Silk Satin Embroidered Pumps! Great patent label inside the interior heel of these shoes! "March 16, 1899 Racine Wis heel protector". I love this stuff! These were one of the favorite pair from the last dealer I purchased these from. It's so hard to photograph as it's black on black embroidery, but it's certainly extremely classy! Most of the photos are lightened so you can see the detail, but they are much more attractive in person at a very dark black silk satin with slightly raised embroidery. Excellent condition exterior with just one teeny split at one shoe front (see photo at left). The interior isn't so perfect (see photos) as "she" must have had sticky feet as the insole is a bit torn up. I give the measurements as people ask, but they don't mean anything! Measures: 9.75" long x 2.5" wide, 2" heel. $ 245.
Approx. - SIZE 5A to 5.5A
[ORDER ITEM - #6199]
Click on image for additional photos!#6199 - c. 1970's YVES SAINT LAURENT, Paris -Made in Italy Rust Colored Cobra Snakeskin Sandals! New Yves Saint Laurent snakeskin sandals would likely cost well over $500... and these are just as fabulous as new. The only wear is on the sole (black is worn off), otherwise great condition! Nice rusty color will blend in nicely with lots of colors, and still "pop". Very tall 4" high chunky heels. Square toes allow for comfort (so your little piggies won't be sliding off), and (ta-da!) the strap is long enough for those of you with a very high instep (most straps aren't long enough for me!) The measurements prove my constant point that measuring shoes does NOT tell you the size! At 8" long you'd think these would be tiny... but they aren't. They are a perfect size 6 1/2. Excellent condition. Measures: 8" long x 4" wide, 4" heel. $ 225.
Approx. - SIZE 6 1/2 M - labeled and correctly sized -
works for high instep and slightly wide foot (me!)

Great pair of classic 1930's pumps... this pair in a yummy chocolate brown suede trimmed in very thin gold. The design looks like chocolate shavings at the front of the shoe. Tiny peep toe hole at front. Marked as 7AAA, though I think it's more like a 6AAA. Measures: 9.75" long x 3" wide, 2.5" high heels (measures 3.5" high at the back of shoe, 2.5" at the crook of the heel). $ 385.
Approx. - SIZE 7 AAA
[ORDER ITEM - #4976]
Click on image for additional photos!#4976 - c. 1890 B. ALTMAN & COMPANY, New York Pink Broche Boudoir Slippers! If it wasn't for the darkening of the back of these slipper shoes, they would be considered Excellent condition. But it seems that whatever they used for gluing in the heel of these shoes bled through the lovely pink brocade (or broche). Pink chiffon and pink satin flower decorations adorn the front of the shoes. Quilted interior sides. So pretty. These might fit you if you have a very thin foot. Measures: 10" long x 2.5" wide. Under $150, so final sale. $ 145.
Approx. - SIZE 6 AA
SOLD#6488 - c. 1920's Rhinestone Flapper Headpiece or Cap! This is one of those "normal" circular rhinestone flapper headpiece or cap. These were obviously very popular as you can find them out there from time to time. I happen to have two available right now... but if you want one, don't hesitate... they don't grow on trees you know! And they can sell for over $900+! Really... I've seen it! Depending on your hairstyle, this can be worn down on the forehead or more lost in your hair (see Louise Brooks photo). Whatever looks best on you. The prong-set rhinestones are still quite bright! They are attached to a twisted metallic wire base in diamond pattern, with a row of rhinestones bordering the edge. One size should fit all normal sized heads. This mannequin's head is usually too large for my hats, so you can it is really too small on her, but will work better on your head (unless you are Oprah as she always mentions that she has a huge head!). Excellent condition. Note: I also have a VERY SIMILAR one of these rhinestone headpieces with about half of the rhinestones due to much larger openings. It's available for $395.) $ 475. SOLD
