Features:

- iconic cat ear design of the 1940s

- many cat ear hats were knit or scarf turbans

- hat designed with a stiff (likely horsehair) front on the inside to hold the ear points

- cat ear design how hat sits back and shows "ears"

- large felt bow

- the top could lightly pop in to show more of a concave appearance but that didn't fit naturally without hat pins but could be worn this way

Closure: none - fits directly on back crown of head

Material: felted wool

Decade: 1940s

Brands/tags: no brand but marked 23 on Consumer's Protection Label

Condition: Very good - lightly worn spots on felt around back center and top edges, makeup on front of ribbon (why someone would wear this forward is beyond me) Presents beautifully in person

Measurements:

Crown - 2.5" back, 1.5" front

Circumference - 20" but marked a 23"

I believe it is marked at 23 as it is meant to sit so far back

Bow - 8" L X 1"
