BRITISH 1930S/1940S BLACK HOMBURG FELT HAT BY WARD. SIZE EU 55,5

DESCRIPTION 

This hat is of British origin and is by the brand Joseph E. Ward. It was most likely produced sometime during the 1930s or 1940s. In colour, it is black and features a matching black hatband and edge binding. The interior is lined with a light silk fabric bearing the manufacturer’s logo. It has a light brown leather sweatband, which also features the manufacturer’s logo, this time stamped in gold. The hat is additionally marked “import”, indicating that it was likely imported into Sweden and sold there as new, although the retailer cannot be identified.

As for condition, it is good overall, although there are a few small marks on the top side of the brim. These marks are not prominent and are only noticeable upon close inspection. It is unclear how they occurred; however, judging by the interior, the hat appears almost as new and has likely not been worn on many occasions. Please study the photographs carefully and form your own opinion of the condition.
